I thought that they were not classed as cartridges as there is no internal detonator, but I may be wrong

Ahh that should create no end of red tape and misunderstandings then!!!

Basically as said above they are not cartridges, just powder and ball stored in a paper case, rather than in the powder flask and ball pouch.

You could assemble a thousand, and apart from being the equivalent of a weak and fragile uninteresting firework should one catch fire they wont go boom until shoved down the barrel and a cap applied to its backside

What do I do with them throw them in the nearest pond?
They must be at least a 100 years old or more.
