Title: Cartridge Linen
Post by: RWJ29078 on April 26, 2022, 10:08:22 AM

Where can I obtain the equivalent linen used in BP cartridges?  Loading for a 1863 Sharps Rifle.

 What you are looking for is tracing cloth. It?s the closest thing I?ve found to the original cloth used. Unfortunately it hasn?t been made in about 60 years. It comes up for sale on EBay occasionally, but there isn?t any available right now.
