cap and ball reloads?

<< < (2/4) > >>

TomG:
16 gauge,
This is how I carry my reloading supplies.
The only other way that I know of is with paper cartridges.
I know on the gun belt during the civil war they had the flap holster which was a left hip holster worn on the right hip with the gun butt forward,a cap pouch and a cartridge box for paper cartridges.

Minnesota Mike:
For pre-made paper cartidges: looks like they were refered to as 'combustible envelope' cartidges and one of the manufacturers that sold them in boxes was American Powder Company.

Hope that helps you get targeted in tight direction.

--- Quote from: "Hawg" ---In the military..........Confederate cavalry anyway, they carried from 4-6 revolvers. When one was empty it was discarded and picked up later.

From what I've read that was the popular method.  

Pony Express riders carried extra cylinders to keep the weight down.
