Try to keep in mind these guns were built long before the invention of the plastic shot cup. Their chokes and pattern performance was done when the entire length of the shot column was in direct contact with the bore. Most of them still shot very tight. If you are concerned about the filler wad raising a portion of the shot column above the shot cup of the wad you are over thinking the process. Load the shell with the shot on top of the filler and you will see the choke performance as the gun was designed. Put the filler wad on top of the shot and you have created a poor man's spreader load.
