The very first cartridges were small wooden bottles, each holding a measured charge of powder. When loading a firearm, the stopper was removed, and the powder poured down the barrel. Later cartridges consisted of a charge of powder wrapped in paper with a lead bullet at one end. The paper was torn or bitten, powder poured down the barrel, and paper and bullet rammed on top. Later experiment made the body of the cartridge out of leather, tin foil, cardboard, etc. The current cartridge cases as made of brass, steel, or plastic. And it seems we are trying to go back to earlier days, since experiments with caseless cartridges have gone on for some years. The link at the bottom of the page will take you to a Wikipedia article on cartridges. Enjoy.
