The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, 3rd Edition, speaks of Dacron Batting as a filler.
All I can find is "Low Melting Polyester Batting" in fabric stores.
I don't think they care exactly what the batting is anymore - most folk wouldn't
know Dacron from Bamboo Batting....(which they have!).
Sporting Goods store clerks look at you like you are crazy when you ask....
I bought 1.5 yard of that low MP Polyester to try in lower loads in a 6.5mm Carcano and
6.5mm Swedish Mauser.
The case is maybe half full of Reloader 15.
Has anyone tried the 'Polyester' batting.
Using Cream of Wheat and Lint and Cat Litter and such stuff seems like a 'bad idea'
mainly because the powder could juggle past it or mix with it.
A Polyester (no Dacron to be found) wad would keep the powder pushed down
near the primer.
How much of these 'Fillers' gets burned up and how much goes out the front ?
YES - I know you start low and always add the filler, if you are going to use filler. I can read. p 123.
