Rolled oats is the best filler I've ever come across. Filling the cavity with something like lube can improve accuracy or have no effect at all. Experimentation, like cats is what sniders are good...

That ring you can see will line up nicely with the seperate stub. Section a case end for end for a better view. With a belted case like the 7mm RM it is often better to headspace off the shoulder...
