Produce your own historically inspired foil cartridges for your Civil War-era Burnside breech-loading carbine with this complete cartridge forming kit! The kit provides most of the tools needed to form brass foil or tin foil cartridge bodies to the proper shape and dimensions.

Made of 3D printed plastic, the kit includes:

  • A cartridge rolling mandrel
  • Foil cutting template
  • Cartridge sizing die
  • Cartridge mouth crimping die

The included template allows brass foil, tin foil, or similar materials to be cut to the correct pattern before being formed around the mandrel. The sizing die helps ensure correct external case dimensions, and the crimping die shapes the mouth of the case to the Burnside bullet.

CAUTION: Brass foil and other metallic foils can develop extremely sharp edges during cutting and forming operations. These edges can easily cause cuts, lacerations, and puncture injuries to fingers, hands, and other exposed skin. Always wear appropriate hand protection and exercise caution when handling foil materials. Keep work areas clean and free of loose metal scraps. Failure to use proper care may result in injury.
