  If you cut the wings off and use just the base of the wad, you can get all 27 in there.
  I ran into the same thing and just load 26 in mine.
  It is a PIA to load buck, but I use them in matches.

  Thanks for the info.I know its a pia almost not worth the effort,but I'd sure like to see how they pattern in my model 97 riot gun.
  Thanks for the info.

  I use a "air wedge" wad then nitro wad. You will find that #4 shot mixes in between the spaces of #4 buck resulting in a duplex load. I call 'em 4x4"s and it cuts them down! Six of them in a model 12... leaning in the corner...I sleep sound.
