I have used the Aquila mini shells with 7 1/2 shot for cowboy action falling plates and never had a problem out of my 18" barreled win 97. The best thing was that I could load 9 of them in tube.

The only way to know if they will function in the 87 repro is to try them. I haven't tried them in mine.

Denny - I'm not sure I understand how the process of loading them into the mag tube effects the capacity of the tube. Yes, you do load the magazine through the action but the shells are end to end in the tube.
