Wether or not you actually need a filler depends on who you believe. I don't know enough about the subject to say either way.But if you have a load 80% or more of the service charge,I wouldn't and havnt bothered with a filler.

What action are you going to use for your project?

Its an original MKIII snider manufactured in 1874
I hope to get the brass sized, then maybe a couple rounds made up tonight - I guess ill see how much space is left in the case then make a call on it. Maybe make a few with and a few without filler materials.
