Yes it is possible. No, it is not practical. During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines Pilipino guerillas did so out of necessity. A historical account I read indicated that they wet match heads, packed the paste under the rim, dried them and then loaded powder and bullets. These cartridges were, as you would expect, of very poor quality and often required turning them in the chamber and firing again as misfires were common.
