There is currently a discussion concerning the use of fillers in the Double Rifle forum. Not surprisingly, there are opposing views echoing what I have read elsewhere, and some interesting theories.
One guy says that chamber ringing is a gradual thing that may not be noticeable until it is too late, and case extraction becomes difficult. Another guy says that ringing will not occur with dacron, providing the correct amount is used.
And the recommendation from BrentD concerning the use of a small amount of flower arranging foam on a small smokeless powder charge sounds like a recipe for disaster, according to what Maj. Burrard had to say on the subject of chamber ringing. Not that I would even consider following any suggestions from BrentD on anything.
