I've always used plain paper too. Was reading online today somewhere where someone made nitrated papers and said if you touch a match too a paper between your fingers watch out because it will not burn but ignite so fast that it can burn under your fingernails. (Actually he made his treated papers with Titewad reloading powder paste (powder plus water instead of nitrate).
So I wanted to experiment with papers to see how fast they ignite with a match. But not worth the effort if the papers dry out in a few days.
My unspoken quest is the ultimate self combusting cartridge... I've gone so far as to cast a mould from the chamber of my Lyman, curling papers soaked in nitrated solution mixed with the titewad solution, etc.
BusyHands94 and I actually discussed a solution (roasted corn powder? I dunno, wasn't nitrating, wasn't the Titewad deal, involved an oven and a common kitchen ingredient, that when roasted became a combustible powder, huge amounts of threads on it, which then lead me to pyrotechnics pages, and then finer ground black... ADD and Whiskey were a bad combination back in the day).
At the end of the day? I NEVER shoot, and NEVER roll my own, bought 4-5# of black in 2014, and still have most of it.
