Paper patching. There's a sub-forum over on CastBoolits site, just for that bit of lunacy.
I've always been fascinated by the concept, but have never been tempted to try. Perhaps if I owned one if the older BP cartridge rifles.....
I made one for my .58 musket. Small hollow base to tuck the paper tail in, not adjustable, however. Made a false muzzle, starter, the whole shebang. Miserable failure. My gun hated all elongated bullets. Patched round balls enabled me to set, for a brief period, a national record.
