In Lyman's 5th Edition there are a few low pressure-low velocity loads that should be nice to shoot.
The one is 3/4 oz. using the new Winchester High Strength (HS) cases. You can't interchange with the old Win. AA compression formed ones.
It calls for 12.0 grs. 800x powder, Win. 209 primer, Win WAA28HS wad, 1135 fps, 7,400 psi.
Also using a Fiocchi Plastic case, 3/4 oz shot, 12.5 grs. 800X, Fio.616 primer, Rem.PT28 wad, 1135 fps, 7,100 psi.
If you cut these 2 3/4" hulls to 2 1/2" and roll crimp them with one .030 overshot card, the roll crimp will work out fine and it is possible you might have to cut them slightly more to get a good roll crimp. I had to do this with 12 ga 2 3/4" cut to 2 1/2" and then cut to 2 3/8" to get a nice roll crimp.
From what I have read the pressure increase from 6 point to roll crimp is negligent if not less.
I would guess that you are not loading a lot and cutting a few boxes would be easy and so would the roll crimping.
