Blank Rounds

Step 1: Start with large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Fold sheet to make a rectangle large enough to wrap 3 times (6 layers) around your cartridge form. (A cartridge form can be made from tubing or a cylinder with an O.D. near the I.D. of the bore)

Step 2: Fold and roll foil around the form. Remember to keep an excess of foil at the bottom of the tube. This will be folded over and tamped to make a thick seal for the bottom end of the blank cartridge.

Step 3: After foil has been tamped and inspected, remove the foil cartridge from the form. The powder charge may now be placed in the cartridge.

Step 4: Fold the foil in on itself to seal the top of the cartridge. The foil should be formed to make an extremely good seal. The end can be color coded to mark type and load of the blank cartridge.
