What is the best material to use as filler? I'm loadin' fer an I.A.B. "Sharps" ( Yea, I know it's a crowbar) but the dern thing shoots straight. The Mrs. likes it cuz it's short and isn't too heavy, which inturn makes it kick more. It's supposed to be in 45-70 Govt. but is chambered a tad on the "long" side. Plan on loadin' some 405gr. Lee flat nose with reduced B.P. ( I read the thread on smokeless loads, and I ain't goin' there!) Was wonderin' if'n one of them "Dead Mule " thingies would work. I spose a thick recoil pad would be easier and cheaper, anyway ,thanks for your input.
Regards,
