One thing to remember is that inert material (cream of wheat or whatever) must be calculated as part of the projectile weight and the powder charge changed/reduced to reflect that.
I'm speaking primarily of black powder loads in large capacity rifle cases. I don't use fillers in my 45-70's as the case is small enough not to need them. I don't use smokeless powders in BPC rifles either.
With the variety of smokeless pistol powders available, I can't see much need to use fillers in pistol cartridges either.
