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.

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

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.

These exist

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