I've seen folks use grits.....there was an 'old-timer' at our old club years ago that loaded them in his .45 ACP for use in bullseye. I don't remember the powder charge he used.

I've heard of people using farina (Cream of Wheat) and corn meal. Semolina too maybe, but I'm not sure about grits. Then again, I don't reload or read much about it. I think any old cereal grain that's ground up, but not too fine, would work. You really wouldn't want a dust explosion, if that's even possible in the confined space of a cartridge. I don't think flour mixing in with the powder would be that great anyway, but something coarse can stay put to a degree.

A lot of Cap & Ball pistol shooters use cream of wheat to take up space in the chamber so they can download them, Grits are for eating, not wasting on BP pistols.

Hot damn Majer.  You are so right.  How in the heck did you get so educated on fine breakfast cuisine?

I had always just switch to magnum primers when shooting light charges in large cases.

It's not just those .22lr.  Caught this .25ACP case inside a 9mm.  The walnut media had wedges the two cases together.

That's quite the surprise to find during a reloading session! It's a valuable reminder for all of us to stay vigilant and double-check our work.
