I learned how to make paper cartridges from the forum "thehighroad", I think it was called. I live on the WET coast and half of the year is definitely soggy. In such conditions my paper cartridges, if not treated with extreme care and under shelter, turned into a soggy mess. I'm sure there are ways to do it, but ideal conditions are a rarely found in real life.
I switched to "mongoose" reloads, based on the experience of a fellow that posted on "thefrontierspot" under that name, for about a week! He used fired cartridge cases to hold your preferred charge, with the roundball pressed on top to seal it. lubed wad and caps need to be managed separately.
For .36 cal., I used 18-20 gr of 3f in a .357 Mag case. (My lube wads are punched from egg carton and dipped in a home brew lube.)
For .44 cal., I used 25-28 gr of 3f in a .45 Colt case. The cases had to be outside sized, or the ball would just slip down onto the powder.
Store in regular large pistol boxes, ball end up. For a walk-about, wrap 5 or 6 in some aluminum foil and carry in a cap pouch.
To load , pinch off the ball and tuck it in your fist while pouring the powder into the chamber, all of it. Grab a wad, if you are using them (Optional) and thumb over the powder, press in the ball and ram.
NOT histronically corrupt(sick), but works better in the damp, and Robert's yer Father's Brother.
