If 7/8 didn’t work because the crimp went in too far and/or left a hole in the center, you can add a 1/8” nitro card under your wad. That should move your wad column high enough for a good crimp. If you try that just load maybe 6-8 of them to be sure they all crimp properly, then break a few clays with them. You’ll know whether you like them or not.
