I think you have a bunch of stuff going on here...

the wrinkle in the case ...tells me the column of components might be too long / and your crimp is way too deep ...causing that wrinkle.

The wad you're picking to use ..is kind of a universal wad ...according to claybuster for 7/8 oz, 1 oz , and 1 1/8 oz...but sometimes these universal wads, in some hulls, end up being too long.

Your powder drop of 14.1 clays is way under the min published that I can find for a 1oz load ...so you may have ignition issues on top of everything else.

But you need to work on adjusting the crimp first of all on the hulls...and I'd suggest making sure you're at least dropping powder at the published minimums / vs experimenting ..... it may be ok, if you're shooting a break open gun ...but I worry about bad ignition and getting a wad stuck in the barrel ..and then firing another shell behind a blocked barrel and you getting hurt...
