Dacron - trademark for a polyester fiber. Dacron is a condensation polymer obtained from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Its properties include high tensile strength, high resistance to stretching, both wet and dry, and good resistance to degradation by chemical bleaches and to abrasion. The continuous filament yarn is used in curtains, dress fabrics, high-pressure fire hoses, men's shirts, and thread. The staple fiber is ideal for mixing with wool in men's and women's suits, as well as in dress fabrics, knitted wear, and washable woven sportswear

    ???  I read where some claim that Dacron or polyester leave a residue in the bore.

   Those folks used tissue paper for filler.

    Anyone have any thoughts on these ideas ?      :-\    Jim

I have heard that about the polyester fillers, and they are subject to very hot flame for a few mill-seconds. So I have always used Toilet paper for my reduced smokeless loads for my Springfield trap door. Half a sheet over 3X grains of IMR 4198. and a 405 grain lead bullet It works for me. And is cheaper than polyester.
