Well Paul,
I have seen a bunch of pre loaded ammo for muzzleloaders. They usually have paper type holder that is broken off and powder dumped down the bbl with the paper and all stuffed down the bore(nitrated?). This is definitely not like that at all. The cardboard tube is a rolled type like a shotshell. And about that thick. The bullet seems to be glued in place. I had a few of thee and took one apart years ago. Cant remember the particulars but it was a hollow based bullet and the cardboard case must have been nitrated because it burned in a hurry. nothing left but fine ash. Think the little paper type plug in the rear is nitrated too.
