Good point, 10 Spot. Dryer lint is in some circles highly regarded as a fire starter.
I don't agree with the need for filler. The .38 target load is why: it contains less than 3 grains of dense, fast-burning powder in a rather large space. Even when HBWC's are used there is still plenty of room for the primer's spark to travel over the powder charge. My stock 586 is capable of shooting groups of slighly over an inch @ 50 yds with these loads. I've personally fired over 100k of these rounds, have been in attendance when many times that were fired. Never seen a "flashover kaboom". Last I heard no one has been able to recreate one under controlled conditions.
