Loading Data for the 50/95WCF
SiringoMN:
Sorry for the late reply. Sometimes I use a filler. I have a batch that I am going to try this week. I’ll let you know.
SiringoMN:
The filler does not all burn up. I fired ten shots and had 3 circumference neck splits. I’m pulling my loaded rounds apart.
King Medallion:
What do you use for filler? I've found laundry lint from a load of towels works real well, just a thumbnail size pinch.

SiringoMN:
Polyester fill for pillows. That is what I was told to use by the internet. I failed to mention that at 100 yards the accuracy was not as good as without the filler. My guess is that since it is not consumed, it affects the base of the bullet exit. I am not an expert on fillers at all.
NOW, lint is a great idea. I never would have thought about that.
Got me wondering about navel lint too! Haha.
pinto beans:
Some years back when I started down the road of trying a filler, I came across the PuffLon product and tried it. Have stuck with it and had good results. To my knowledge it is the only product sold as a filler and seems to do the job well. I use it in couple different cartridges for cast loads, including the 45-75. Just a suggestion.
keep us posted on how things go on the load work.
P.B.
