I just want to point out,

Your pictures are way too large

if someone try to speedload whole combustible papercartridges there’s a chance that a ember is left in the bore pre-igniting the round.
Loading a muzzle loader with a paper cartridge is NOT done the way one loads a cannon with a bagged charge.

The paper cartridge is NOT placed in the barrel and seated. The paper is torn (usually bitten open) the powder is poured down the barrel, then the paper is inserted to serve as a wad and the ball/bullet on top of that and rammed home.
