Other than the wax plug this is what I want to try next time. Don’t think the inert filler’s needed at all, results will confirm. Learned last time vertical bore helped with consistent ignition, otherwise I’d get maybe 1 in 10 fail to go off on first strike.

The wax blown into the barrel makes a gummy mess but not to bad to clean out. I save the goober balls of bullet lube from my cast bullets and the parrafin from the top of my wife's jams. I mix about 50/50 in a shallow round tin container in a double boiler. You can hold it upside down and push the charged cases up into it till the case mouth hits bottom, that way they all have the same plug. The gummy stuff holds tight so when the bullseye goes off it does a nice job of blowing the shoulder out.
I have experienced that as well.

Its a severely dangerous situation in cases that are not full when charged with powder to detect it.
That sounds suspiciously like a "Duffyism" Dusty.
Do you perhaps mean that it's a dangerous situation when under- or un-charged cases go undetected prior to having a bullet seated in them? If so, I agree 100%.

No i mean if your case loses 5gr capacity because your breakfast is trapped in the shoulder area you may not like the result.
