    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.
