    Well acording to the reply to a question I asked on British Militaria Forum

    Dr Rhodes. The British Soldiers Firearm, From Smoothbore to Smallbore 1850-1864
    It is listed as a Cartridge containing 2.5 Drams of powder and a .60" ball

    That's 70 gains of Black Powder and the .60" ball is 50 thou under bore diameter so there cartridge might have been pretty thick
