I had a hunch that I could use these older inconsistent T7 pellets for light 20 gauge loads somehow, but of course they are too thin to just drop in the shell. I found that 1/2" cpvc fits nicely in a plastic shell, and the T7 pellet would slide into that. I cut a small piece of cpvc to match the length of the pellet and it fit snugly down in a straight walled hull. Tapered hulls get too tight. Figured out a wad and shot column, and roll crimped the end. I used 7/8 oz of 7 1/2 shot, but will probably reduce that as this is slightly less than a 2 dram charge. I wonder how the cpvc will hold up?
