@odin what is the paper you are using? Cheers, 40mm
Use enough gun
Just a thin brown paper cut as per the 1859 Sharps ordinance manual.
Have 2 molds 1/ - 418gr 'minnie ball' and 2/ 510gr Richmond conical.
have just ordered a 505gr ring tail mold as I want to play around with tied on linen cartridges (circa mid 1860's)

I made a few from large rice papers, but have not tried to make em to the original specs.
I think I will give it a go.
Cheers

Have @ 150 rounds made in the 510 gr conicals.
