John,
Google Ordnance manual of 1862 or PM me with your email address it is in the manual. You can download all 3 the '41, '50, 62 and the supplement off of Google.

I just picked up an original .54 elongated Ball cartridge that is a prime candidate for unrolling. The string is missing and a slight tear in the paper has let the powder drain out.
