Get you 6-10 of the brass shells and crimp them like the pictures I've seen of old British shotgun ball loads . Looks as if they seat the ball deep enough not to be above the brass then the push the brass in , in about 8-12 different spots against the lead balls . You could also cover the top after that with candle wax for a moisture seal .
Look down this attached thread and you can see a normal roll crimp that should work for you on a brass shell . I have seen pics somewhere of indented shell tops and I believe they were of British manufacture . Anyway I was gonna find a picture and attach it for you but no such luck !
