Copper Cartridges – Alderney Wreck


Many thanks to Barry Siler, who posted this information on the SRS list just a few moments ago.

Yes! Even more sources for non-wooden cartridges!

To be honest, I am glad that Dale used a different technique to make ours. I am far happier knowing that ours are not held together with lead solder.

EDIT: Another lovely person from the same list gave this address for purchasing ready-made cartridges.

I can tell you these are much less pricey than the ones that hubby and I got - although I will also say I like ours more... *wink*

Copper is used for the application in both powder magazines and in cartridges because it is a non-ferrous metal (non-sparking). An important consideration when dealing with da boom juice!
