Bourbon and Bitters?! Zounds! You're a national treasure Brett.

I will be honest, your the reason I drink old fashions now XD. So glad Bulleit makes their own now! It is an essential item to have when supervising any work requiring orphans.

If you bring in some Mandrills from the Congo and train them to replace the orphans, you can cut down the requirements by a whole step!

There was later a Fisher and Ludlow in Castle Bromwich which by the 1950's was making motor vehicles. Part of the company still exists in the Fisher and Ludlow Caravan Club which was originally part of the Social Club of the factory.

Loved it. Wish someone had told the Sepoys in India that it was wax, not grease!

yes did the cartridge for my enfield rifle for re-enactments . always blanks never did live fire with the rifle at any events, but have at the range. nice demo!

The dearth of orphans is more proof, if ever it were needed, that the modern age is descending into barbarism!

New subscriber, loving your content. Been a civil war buff since I was 9 and learned something new watching your channel. I had always thought all civil war rifles loaded the same way. In my mind the way you loaded the Enfield was how I thought they all worked. I didn’t know the VAST majority were not loaded with paper. I also love watching and talking to relic hunters. They talk about finding “dropped” bullets. I always assumed it was cartridges falling out of the cartridge pouch or the entire cartridge being dropped. But now watching your videos it is obvious that the nervous soldier literally dropped the bullet. Never knew they actually handled the loose bullet. So my question: when they did drop it, what did they do? They already had a power charge. Did they just fire a “blank”? Inquiring minds want to know.

Nice video. Love to watch the process. Had an old fashioned while I watched.

Love this content!

An old movie trick is to use Floral Foam for compression. You just cookie cut it with a brass tube the right internal size. Rather use that than polystyrene. Great video Brett!

I used floral foam in the past and it does work great. But nobody sends me boxes full of floral foam for free! Meanwhile every Amazon box is flooded with the peanuts.

Bulleit Bourbon!! Good choice!

Now would love to see your method for making the Whitworth cartridge when you can find the time, Thanks.

I definitely want to try this. Doing it myself sounds barbaric and Ungentlemanly. I am sure if I look hard enough, I can find some orphans. So there made properly the way God Intended.

oh wow nothing better than to hear about child labor

Good Morning Sir, a very informative video. I am assuming that the powers to be of KZread prevents you from showing how to make a "live" cartridge. I am not a reenacter but I have made the U.S. style of paper cartridges. It would have been great to see one made however. But my experience has confirmed that showing the wrong things on KZread will indeed get a person censored. Best Regards. . . P.S. Try Eagle Rare 10 year old, By Buffalo Trace. Very nice on ice.

I dread to think how many attempts were made before you got the technique settled and all the dimensions just right.

Dumb question i prefer the enfield loading style is it possible to set up cartridges for the Springfield in the enfield style and would it work?

Yes they will work, may need a slightly larger bullet because the Springfield has a slightly larger caliber.

Better to have as many complications in the orphanage as possible to avoid them on the battlefield.
