If you do choose to load smokeless in your cartridges, please do NOT fill empty case space with Dacron. Use cotton! Otherwise, you risk ringing a chamber/barrel. I know this from sad experience. A noted writer uses Dacron, but it is only a matter of time before a ring appears for him. Cotton is not expensive, naturally combustible and is totally safe. Especially for the number of rounds you may shoot in this .577.
