Yes that should work. I usually use black powder and a card wad with water glass glue. I cut the cases short as the full case capacity is not needed.

I would crimp close the cases so there's nothing that can be determined to be a 'projectile'

I know one re-enacter that uses fibre wad 12ga cartridges and cuts the shot off - wad is shredded by the wad-shredder in the bore that also stops full 12ga being inserted.
They should have a limiter in to stop full length cartridges being used by mistake.
