You might try plugging the touch hole (vent pick, tooth pick, or small feather) when loading with the 4F. It might even help with 3F and these small charges, depending on just how large the vent is. If you use a tooth pick, be careful not to break it off in the vent - I've done that when using them in cleaning the barrel.
BTW, "T" size shot is .20", "BBB" is .19". Lead shot in these sizes is not common, but apparently still available.
