I always used cotton in my NFB 450-400 3 1/4 loads and my schuetzen loads. Never a problem but it will come out in clumps. There is always a space between the cotton and the breach loaded bullet in my schuetzen rifles. Never a ringed chamber and accuracy is exceptional. In my Rigby I make sure there is no space between the filler and the projectile.
