Mark I thought the same thing and loaded up a couple of short 10 1 1/8 loads, they took 4 cheerios :-) Filler is filler as far as I am concerned. The cheerios crush and turn to dust on firing as far as I can tell. There is no confetti like some of the fiber fillers produce. Not only are the Cheerios much less expensive they are immediately available at the grocery store and can be used in different gauges. I found no difference in the crimp whether the Cheerios were horizontal or vertical. Just drop them in the shot cup and load the shell.
Another plus, with a box of Cheerios on the reloading bench you can have a little snack now and then while reloading
