I spoke to the design team this morning about this issue. Alchemical cartridges are not meant to have blanch applied to them. I was advised, in a home game, the GM can make whatever call they like. But, for PFS, alchemical cartridges can not receive a blanch.
Mike, I understand that you can not blanch an alchemical cartridge, but about using cold iron as the metal which is being wrapped in paper. Does the paper burn off or is the paper still attached when the target is hit?
If the paper is burned off, couldn't you just wrap cold-iron bullets in paper for alchemical cartridges, and still by-pass the DR of certain creatures?
Also according to the picture shown by RtrnofdMax
it looks like you can have part of the bullet exposed anyways, giving access to cold-iron contact with the creature.
