They are good for teach someone that have not shot a shotgun before and get them use to the gun and also good for light loads beside extend the use of the hulls when you can not load them like normal.Also because you can do it.

Trapper,
They have no impact on recoil. Try a 7/8 oz wad in a normal hull. Without reducing payload and/or velocity, recoil is unaffected. For CAS I use the 7/8 wad and reduce velocity to 1000 fps.
Premium hulls are a nickel, and last quite a few reloads. Hulls like Top Guns or Estates are free. They are easy to load so is it worth the hassle?
“Because you can do it”, makes the most sense.
IIRC BPI data stops at 2" shells.
Some see being able to carry a few more rounds for the same amount of space as an advantage. A reduced load of shot also makes them a bit of an economy load.
I loaded up a few of these just using a different wad, they were a lot of fun but the initial trimming of the hull is a bit time consuming. If I were going to load up a bunch of these I would make a trimmer jig like what Ballistic Products sells.
