[Double Trouble]

I have heard that kapok is a good filler. (It's a natural fiber, commonly used in pillows, etc.) However, I don't know where one can buy it, except on-line. But, we can all get cotton a whole lot easier ! If you did order a pillow full of kapok on-line, it'll probably last a lifetime...

This filler topic is of interest. I use cherrios in my shotgun loads as filler in 3/4 oz loads so the crimp won't buckle below the rim of the case but I doubt that would work in a rifle. I have a Ruger #1 450/400 NE 3 inch I want to load with 30gr of Trail Boss and a Hornady XTP pistol bullet. From the info I have I should get 1600-1800-fps which will make for a good 100 yard deer set up. My question is will I need a filler such as cotton or daycron to keep the powder charge compact so I will get the full ignition?
