the white powdery stuff is sumply called Buffering.. it's packed inside the shell so the lead pellets will remain in place and will not rattle around.. and it also assists greatly in the shot pattern as it exits the cylinder bore.. and travels toward the target.. if u didnt have the bufferring.. your shot pattern would suck.. and also the shot shell would have lots of rattling noise as u shake it in your hand or whatever..
I know it has pretty much already been addressed, but the white powder is basically a powdered plastic, used as a buffer so that the force of the wad pushing the pellets is transferred over a more uniform contact area and keeps the pellets from as much interaction with each other while traveling down the barrel...
I found this video while trying to figure out what the heck kinda white grains I got on my ammo, turns out the round was just leaking! I was like WTF kind of white granular crap did I get on my shells!?!?
The white powdery substance is polymer buffering that is supposed to help the lead pellets absorb the shock of being forced down the barrel and it is intended to help the pellets maintain their round shape. It is (ultimately) intended to help the shot load pattern better at longer ranges.
@kingdomcome714 yes thats what you get when a shotgun round is called a heavy buffered shot, all it is for is to fill space, and i have heard also to protect the barrel from abrasion from a projectile thats not one whole solid projectile. also another reason why all turkey loads are a heavy buffered shot, the tighter the pattern you can achieve for turkey hunting the better off you are

you are exactly right, the white grain like pieces fill the empty space between the pellets to help maintain a tight pattern
