Question for you guys who have disassembled 19th century cartridges

[Triggerlock]

For any of you who have ever disassembled any 19th century cartridges,  did they worry about  migration of the bullet lube into the powder,  resulting in possible contamination?

In other words,  did those old cartridges have any kind of a wad between the powder and the bullet?

Thanks.

Took apart an 11.15x58 Austrian Wendl.

This was a paper patched lead bullet military cartridge

Powder, a 0.02" (~1/64") thick paste board, 1/8" wax cookie, a second 0.02" thick paste board, all followed by the paper patched bullet.

I took this apart mainly because I wanted to create a 45/70 PP bullet and final cartridge.

I now load my standard grease-grooved bullets with a 1/16 - 1/8" cardboard wad.  No contamination of powder.

Yes and no,

45-70 govt. issue (Franfort Arsennel) did have a wad and fine dusty powder

the 45 Colts both had no wads and rather course (1F) powder No sign of migration at all.
The colts did not have head stamps.

Again, I would have expected this given that the wad is for protecting the base of the bullet which would have been rar mor critical in the 45-70 then the short range Colt.
