"Shot Balling" is when individual shot pellets clump together on discharge & create a heavier projectile which puts people down range such as beaters on driven hunts & dogs in danger.

I read somewhere that the issue w/ the Pygmie cartridges wad due to the reduced amount of wadding that resulted in trying to get an equivalent amount of shot in a 2" cartridge that was normally carried in a 2 1/2".

Interesting. I have patterned a fair number of cartridges in my 2". So far, I have not seen ic, but I'll watch for it.
