Duelling pistols were always smooth bore muzzle loaders usually a matched set so there were no cartridges. Back when Abraham Lincoln was challeneged to a duel, the weapon he chose was "broad swords". Of course that weapon would have given Lincoln a tremendous advantage due to his 6'4" height and correspondingly long arms. The challenger being much shorter, decided to abandon his challenge to a duel.
