The only time I used filler was on top of reduced loads in rifle cartridges.

Example, 458 Win Mag loaded with 405 grain 45-70 lead bullets. Use about 30 grains of 3031 and put a tuft of dacron pillow stuffing (available in Walmart notions section) on top of powder to hold it in place back against the primer.

Without the filler, you get erratic ignition, perhaps a bullet lodged in the barrel. Hope this helps!
