This video demonstrates how to create paper cartridges for cap and ball revolvers using the Guns of the West kit. It covers assembling the paper envelopes, charging them with specific powder charges (17 grains for .36, 25 grains for .44), seating bullets, and lubricating the finished cartridges with a beeswax and tallow blend. The kit includes formers, paper, lube, and a funnel for a complete DIY ammunition solution.

This YouTube video, titled 'How To Make Paper Cartridges, Part 2: Lubricating,' focuses on the second stage of creating paper cartridges for firearms: lubrication. As a follow-up to a previous installment, this video likely delves into the methods, materials, and importance of properly lubricating paper cartridges to ensure their functionality and preservation. While the description is pending, the title suggests a practical, hands-on approach to a historical or specialized aspect of ammunition preparation. This content would appeal to historical firearms enthusiasts, reenactors, or those interested in muzzleloading and traditional shooting methods.

This video demonstrates the use of the Manley Paper Cartridge Former for creating black powder cartridges. It details the necessary materials, including coffee filters for their burn properties, and walks through the process of forming the paper envelope and filling it with powder and bullets. The resulting cartridges are shown to be firm and fit well in historical revolvers like the Remington New Model Army.
