I ran into this paper cartridge tutorial on another forum:

Many years ago, I bought a paper cartridge kit for my 1851 Navy from Dixie Gun Works - a useful device which they no longer offer. It came with a wooden block, a set of forming dowels, and papers - which you could re-order. Unless I am doing a lot of shooting, the paper cartridges are my preferred method of loading a C&B revolver. I loaned the kit to someone who loaned it to someone...
I see where Paco is using ZigZag cigarette papers instead of the nitrated ones with good results.
Colt and Remington both had cartridge factories employing hundreds of women with tiny fingers who assembled these paper cartridges and were paid so much for each assembled box.
