Default Of beans and things...fillers

The reloading thing is very new to me. Some of the recipes I have tried, with the limited materials I can get and limited primers, don't quite work out, and since I'm loading #9 or #8 sometimes my shot is a little short and crimping is tough. I'm assuming I can use felt or cork in the shot cup or over shot cards to correct this without causing major problems? The issue is finding these in stock. Do folks put a "bean" in the bottom of the cup or Cheerio? Are any other materials used, and finally, when does anyone use a Nitro card to adjust the shot column up? I have some of those but haven't used them. Thanks for the hand holding on this. I picked a really crappy time to learn to load shot shells!
