just a spacer.
Fillers aren't mixed with the powder. they are spaced between wads seperate from the power. More like a place keeper. Just to occupy air space in a black powder cartridge.. it does slow velocity which may sometimes be a desired effect. or some times to insure the same amount of powder in each cartridge. This allows more control of velocity. I had not heard of cream of wheat but many different materials. to include Cotton, stacks of wads, oat meal, grits, so why not cream of wheat. thanks, Dave
