This video demonstrates how I make linen cartridges of the style used for the 1859 Sharps; these cartridges post-date the far less successful ring-tail paper cartridges.

The bullets were cast from a Richmond Laboratory Sharps mold by Eras Gone Bullet Molds: www.erasgonebullets.com/

The linen for the cartridges was purchased from Burnley & Trowbridge Company: burnleyandtrowbridge.com
