    Whitworth Cartridges

    I just came across this. I thought the forum might find it interesting. I have often wondered how they kept these shooting on the battlefield, given their susceptibility to fouling. It might also give some of you Whitworth shooters ideas.

    Indian-made musket proof test.

    That guy is really good. His books about the 1853 Enfield and about black powder production are great.

    Greased felt wads and wet burning Curtis and Harvey black powder. You can buy or make the former, the latter is long gone.
