Has anyone had any success with a homebrew version of these?

I picked up a smoothbore flobert project gun, I'd like to shoot it but $35 per 100 hurts, would like to reload a substitute.
It seems the copper cases are essential in part to keeping the action closed on my first model flobert where the breech is basically held shut only by the tension of the hammer spring. Otherwise I would just use .22 short brass. I have a .220 roundball mold, my bore measures .210 so I should be ok there. Bite the bullet and buy a packet of these then reload using prime all compound and maybe a pinch of FFFg?
Would be interested in hearing from anyone who has tried something like this, that might save me a bit of time and frustration.
I know I could retire it and hang it up as a look pretty but it's very hard for me to own a gun and not shoot it at least a few times
