I ran a test to determine if using dacron as a powder locator would affect accuracy in minimal weight pistol powder charges in 223 Remington cartridges.

Please see my report on my site.

Pretty solid proof right there it works. I have been wanting to do some side by side tests like you have been doing lately now that I have some known accurate loads in a couple of rifles.

This exactly mirrors the results I've always gotten by using dacron or cotton wool in my light rifle loads. Fibre filler has always produced improved accuracy for me. I've never tried using filler in hand gun loads, though (hmmmm, interesting). I've even tried filler in light to moderate j-word rifle loads. Accuracy was better in these, as well.

Looks like I need to try it in my 30-30 2400 loads. Thanks, Jim.
