Case fillers? I've never met anyone in real life that uses case fillers...but I read a few places online. Whats your thoughts?

I did some light reading just now and it seems that its mostly used in black powder or straight walled cases with cast lead bullets if at all and is pretty much abandoned in modern shooting.
Seems like nowadays we can choose a powder to give proper case fill and not rely on what is available at the 1950s gas station that requires the use of a filler to make up case volume with something else.

I guess I should have added that they are typically used to compress loads and I have never seen anyone compress loads with a filler...and its still a practice today...just not for me or anyone I know.
It used to be a thing to do using cream of wheat in 30-06.
I think it was a trick of the times when powders of the proper burn rate were not available to fill a 30-06 case.
I can't hold good enough to gain advantage and besides that cream of wheat is just so tasty with a little cinnamon and syrup.
