It should be fine. Typically the challenge with shot shells are filling all the empty space. If you desire a short shell, it's not overly hard. Super short, you will need special wads like the BPI short wads.

Ok, last update on these wads.
I just got the Russian wads straight from Svarog in. As it turns out, these are the red "Special Tail Wads" as shown on the Svarog website. It looks like they have indeed been revised, and the revision is apparently in that step area where the wad inserts into the cavity of the slug.
As compared to the original, white Svarog wads, these have a slightly smaller id on the post section of the wad, and that step portion of the post that was all but impossible to seat up into the slug, has been reduced in OD by .020"! It will now seat up fully into the slug cavity without problems!
That is the only differences I can see/measure on the wads, so I guess that is the "revision" Svarog told me about. (That, and painting them red!)
These are, as stated, very much like the original Svarog wads, and highly unlike the wads I got from "BulletMold" via E-bay. Which ones work better? Well, these red ones will work great for me, because they solve the wad seating problem/question I had. Then, regarding the completely different "BulletMold" wads?? It doesn't matter how well they might work/shoot, because at 33 cents each, I won't be buying any more!! :groner:
I'll stick with these red, Svarog wads!
There you have it. Russian wad adventures--> done!

That's good news about the new red wads. Thank you VP.
I have some coming, hoping for an improvement in fit.
You're welcome. It's been a somewhat long road, but hopefully these posts will clear some things up for others. With the language barrier, it' a bit tough to figure out the Russian situation sometimes, but I'm happy now! I really like the Russian slugs.
