Orvis at one time sold a spreader with cube shot and i had the idea to flatten some of the shot and see if it made a difference. Using a steel plate and hemmer i deformed about half the load and patterned it. It opened it one choke, mod to cyl. Son made a device like an old wringer washing machine and we run the shot through it and about half is deformed to one degree or another.
Have used them for woodcock and grouse for 25 years and our hit rate has been very good compared to before.So yes deformation of shot will work.
