I have decided to use some fast burning powders in my .45 Long Colt rounds and to use something as a filler (probably oatmeal or cream of wheat).

My question is how much filler to use? Do I want to fill it up so it just touches the bullet bottem or do I want to slightly compress the load with the powder on the bottom (primer) end?

Hope you can help, Mikey
