It works great but I bought a different cup warmer on EBay that isn’t warm enough. So I ordered a 110V one
I loaded 18 .44 caliber round ball paper cartridges with 20 grains of Tripple P FFFG and 10 grains of cream of wheat to match the 30 grains of powder the block is designed for, making each paper slightly longer for rolling round balls as instructed. I used several different types of rolling papers, the thinnest and most completely burned turning out to be "RAW" brand, but found I had to be careful not to get the paper wet with heated lubricant or it would try to tear open while loading. All cartridges loaded and fired the first time in my 1858 Pietta, but ramming the balls into the cylinder was way more difficult than just loading round balls as the added diameter of the paper increased how much lead had to be shaved off to load each ball and left much heavier lead round rings from each round. Accuracy was still excellent at 15 yards. I did have to take the nipples out while cleaning to assure all the paper residue had been removed, but I think most of the excess residue was from the thicker papers rather than the RAWs. I have received Johnson and Dow 220 grain bullets and pan to try shooting them this week before loading them in paper cartridges.

The paper punch won't work after cutting about 20 end "caps'.
54 Percussion Sharps Paper Cartridge Former Master Kit
All of the kits I ordered work as described. I plan on trying some of the finished products later this week.
This kit handles all my revolver needs,
It might be a little pricey but it was just what I was looking for works great next time I might purchase the slider top one to see which one I like best. Thanks Cartrigekits. John
A bit difficult to load with the cylinder on the pistol. I suppose modifying the area above the cylinder would make it easier. But, they shoot well! Had waited a long time for them to come back into stock.
Just tried the kit yesterday. Used the Lee mould. Everything went smoothly. Love the kit. Going out tommorow to try the loads in my 1858 New Army.
Works very well, about 45 min. to melt a full tin of lube. Maintains heat. Quick cool down.
Once you get the hang of it. which is quite simple it is a great system Cant wait for the weather to warm up so I can fire them !!
A pattern for the sides of 36 cal
Cartridge would have been appreciated.
I like the way that these kits come with everything you need to make your paper cartridges. In my opinion there’s nothing more rewarding than making them yourself and getting the satisfaction when you use them. I really enjoy making them and end up sitting there for hours without even realizing it
This is a really nice product. I bought 5 more to give to my friends
Prompt service, and the kit came as advertised. Very pleased.
