Well, I guess we need to define controversy. Just do a quick search on dacron and barrel or chamber ringing and you'll see some pretty varied opinions (like you do here). I would think it would be in a new member's best interests to know that there are some that do think there can be an issue. At least then he can evaluate the existing data and go from there.

Having said that, in modern steel barrels, I have no qualms about putting a puff of dacron on top of the powder, so long as its fluffy enough to make contact with both the powder and bullet base.
