How about wax? You drop in your black powder, drop in filler like cornmeal or farina (preferably rancid since you shouldn't waste food) and then secure it with wax like Bill Jordan shows in his book, "No Second Place Winner."

I think Jordan used a loading block (drilled out piece of wood) that held the cartridges. The wax was held up vertically (as in against the wall) and the loading block with cartridges pushed against the wax. The cartridges would cut into the wax and leave a neat set of holes in the wax. When the loading block was removed, all fifty cartidges would be sealed. Neat lesson from an old timey gun writer, shooter, LEO. RIP Bill Jordan.
