According to most "experts" you should not have an air space between the base of the bullet and the powder when loading BP cartridges so if someone wants to shoot 30 grs instead of 40 grs in a cartridge they will use a filler like corn meal, COW, or a wad to occupy the dreaded space. Some people ignore the warning and get away with it but I don't believe you will find a prominent writer or powder manufacturer advocate leaving a space in the cartridge using BP or the subs.
