Durable combustible cartridge?
I have never created a "combustible cartridge" - that is, a piece of saltpeter-saturated rolled paper containing black powder. What I want to do is have a packet of black powder from which I tear the breech end. Then with no further action I load it. Cartridges I have seen used have the powder poured into the muzzle, then the paper container follows as detritus or "wadding."
I have seen percussion revolver cartridges that are combustible, but they are fragile. If there is a type or brand of paper (or cloth??) from which to make a combustible cartridge that is durable against rough handling, please identify it, and how to make it.
