When i did a lot of muzzle loading i made paper cases out of cartridge paper - you can nitrate the paper if you want but its not necessary i experimented with both. nitrated paper was harder to glue.. i just used prit stick type glue
I turned a mandrel just smaller than bore diameter and would roll the paper around the mandrel and glue one end shut. In to my paper tube i would put one measure of shot, then the wad then the powder charge and then fold the end over or tie it off with string if i wanted to look really cool.
When out shooting you would simply take a cartridge, tear the end and then ram the whole lot down in one. Still cant keep up with the center fire guns but it is a lump quicker - you can use a wad marginally smaller than the bore once you ram it all down it works fine
