Thread: Cast Bullet Kid Case Filler

Hi all. I remember seeing not long ago the 'Cast Bullet Kid' have case filler for sale but for the life of my I can't remember where I saw it advertised. Little help?

Beaver grease has a section labeled cast bullet kid, nothing much in it at the moment so maybe hes not selling it any more?
heres a link

Dacron or clean carded wool, like spinners use

Just my opinion backed up with a few years experience Fillers not really needed with trailboss due to its volume, or with the "universal cast bullet loads" using from 4 to 10 or so grains of unique or shotgun powder. Consistent Ignition will occur regardless of the powders position and there's no detectable difference in velocity or accuracy.
Only place I do use filler is in BP cases when I'm "light loading" to 3/4 or less of the full charge. BP is a different beast, and in those situations I like to use felt or teased fleece.

And use fillers in nitro for black loads because they are a 60% of original
Often in massive cases

I tried Dacron. No more. Left a lot of burnt plastic in the bore.

I use both trail boss and AS50N for squib loads. NO FILLER. They work fine.

I use Semolina as filler in Black-Powder reduced loads to make up the volume. Works well, so I assume it would burn as easily in a smokeless load, I stress Assume as I have never used a filler with smokeless.

As @Oldbloke mentioned, I had the same trouble with Dacron and wouldn’t advise using it. I’ve loaded plenty of subs since with trail boss and don’t use any filler for the .308 or 6.5

These exist

Haven't used them yet so can't comment further, sorry
