DIY Black Powder pistol cartridges
#13
I almost forgot - I've got these handy-dandy gizzies, too. They are "template jigs" to cut the nitrated paper to the proper size. You set them down on the paper, then cut around them with a razor blade or Xacto knife. I got them from an Etsy Store called "Mesa Winds". They appear to be made out of 3D printed plastic, and work very well. They leave a slip of paper sized and properly curved to wrap around the mandrel to be glued together. The black one is for use when you are making cartridges with conical bullets, and the blue one is for making cartridges with round balls.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
