Default Blanks

This may seem a bit odd but i am at a mental block. I was asked this evening to load some blanks for him to use while training his new pup. He wanted something pretty quiet so i remembered shooting just a primer without anyhting else and it is quiet so ive got that handled. But then he wants something between the primer blank and a trap or hunting load. I figured i could load about 10 grains of powder, but im lost as what to put in the wad? I really dont want to use lead when its only used as a low noise training round. I had the idea of bird seed or the like but im not sure it itll work or not. Its in a 12ga. and ive got a ton of extra 1 oz wads and bunches of old hulls. What would be a good filler material? and i guess mainly will it work?
