[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1927127, member: 26077"] I did read he rest of the posts and there are some good suggestions. I will add, 4895 works great for somewhat educed loads, no fill required. The Hodgdon site has instructions for how to make reduced loads using 4895. Very slow burning powder is another option but you do need to be careful what you download. The RUM series of cartridges should NEVER be downloaded, use at least the min amount of powder in the load books. For even more reduced loads try Trail Boss. Specifically designed for that use, very bulky so that filler is not required. Most loads using filler also use fast pistol or shotgun powder. When I used those Cream of Wheat or Corn Meal was a pretty common filler. Back in the old days, that is what we had available so we used it. Today, there are far better and way safer options. You have to see what a double charge of fast powder can do to a gun and you will understand why I am not a fan of using it if you don't have to. [/QUOTE]
