i'm sorry. i know better now. so i apologize to larry gibson and everybody else.
i've never done a filler load, i thought that its not needed. so i read http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...s-vs-Alliant-B and http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...-amp-a-Dacron- and i decided to try dacron batting. so i loaded up some cases that were dacron filled and some that were not dacron filled. i was using my tc encore with a 24" barrel in 444 marlin. i used 280gr wfn gc with 25.5gr of 2400.
on the loads that were not dacron filled, the first load was backed against the primer, the second load was against the boolit and rest were what not. i was shooting at a bench and it was 100 yards. my group was 3 1/2", the first and the second shots did my group. the three others were 1 1/4".
on the loads that were dacron filled, they go approximately 1/2 - 5/8". i was stunned at the difference between them. i have never thought that dacron batting could do so much. i have also thought that 2400 was not position sensitive. boy i was wrong, again!!!
so i am bloodied and bruised and i know that dacron batting and 2400 are the thing to go to!!! so i again apologize to larry gibson and everybody else. i am so sorry.
