I am not sure, but the first repeating rifle was used in the civil war, it was the Spencer repeating rifle, it had a lever underneath the action (firing mechanism) that would eject the round and reload one. This was the first one that used a self-contained cartridge, much like today's bullets. However their was one bolt-action rifle used in northwestern Asia that fired paper ball cartridge's, but it was expensive and production slowed to a halt.
