[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 665134, member: 15748"] Actually, Cream of Wheat or Corn Meal both work great as a filler for fireforming cases, but that doesn't involve a bullet. I've used both extensively, and always with good results. The idea of using it between powder and bullet, however, seems like a phenomenally BAD idea. As has already been stated, anything that goes down the bore becomes part of the projectile weight (the "ejecta", to be more precise) and will most definately alter the load dynamics. As for Dacron, Kapok or any other sort of filler, the NRA tech staff did some studies on this many years ago. They determined that it ocassionally caused ringing or bulging in chambers, as well as ocassional unexplained pressure spikes. It's your barrel, and has been mentioned, your eyes, face and fingers, but I'd steer very clear of this. Too many pitfalls, not enough benefit to justify the risks. [/QUOTE]
