I use a choke pole and half hitch on the bottom of the ball a lot quicker loading.

After you have "captured" the minie ball in your makeshift die, simply use a wooden dowel to push it out of the tube. You can reuse the cooled lube remaining in the pan as many times as you like. This technique is fast, easy, and, in the context of making ammunition, extremely un-messy.

Thank you immensely for explaining why the cartridge is made with 2 rolled paper sheets, and that the bullet is "broken off" and inserted in the muzzle w/o the paper. Is the paper used to make old fashioned grocery bags too heavy to use?

Type of paper is necessary for an accurate copy.

Yes, but that's very easy. You put your minie balls into a "sacrificial" pan (you don't want to use a pan you cook with), melt a sufficient quantity of bullet lubricant, then pour in the melted lube/wax deep enough to cover the grease grooves of the balls. To facilitate removal and cleanup of the balls, use a tube with an internal diameter just a hair greater than the minie ball and then push that over the minie ball.

So once you have torn the back and poured in the powder do you ram the bullet and the paper down the barrel or does the bullet come out? Is it a certain type of paper you need? Thanks.

They actually used take out the bullet out of the paper ( of course after pouring the powder) and then throw the paper, and drop the cartridge in and then they ram it not just to push the bullet but also to level the powder

Yes you do need a certain type of paper

Sorry, but I can't see the purpose of the double paper wrapping... Why not simply wrap both the bullet and the wooden rod in a single sheet of paper, twist the paper at bullet end, remove the rod, and then pour in the powder and then twist and tie the resulting cartridge at both ends?

Strength. Two sheets of paper made a stronger cartridge.

@@iac4357 With one paper tube, the powder will creep up and into the greased grooves. Big mess, loss of accuracy.
