Thread: .65 Musket service loading info circa 1850

I want to research the original service loading ball, powder, cartridge and loading sequence for a circa 1850 65 cal smooth bore musket

Someone might have a reference book that outlines the paper cartridge, weights and sequence ?

I'm just guessing it would have been a ball in a paper cartridge with powder.
Tear off the twisted paper cartridge end.
Pour powder into bore
Push ball into bore with remains of cartridge first or last ?
Put percussion cap on and fire

Then use the carbine as a club because it's so slow to reload

I'm a bit in the dark on this one and the internet isn't as smart as it could be
