Somewhere between genius and insanely overwrought genius... is this.
Like mykkel said, if it works, that's brilliant... but like lrsmith said, i can't imagine how the shot gets hurled out of the barrel of the gun in an explosion and doesn't get infused with the flavor and powder and burnt stuff.
Now, if you could just find a way to get pure seasonings to explode, then you'd have something...

Actually, this part isn't as difficult as you might think.
At the bottom of the shotshell you find the powder. Above that, you have a plastic wad, whose purpose is to keep the powder and shot from mixing, and to help the shot remain packed during transit through the barrel. Obviously, the shot then sits contained in the plastic wad. The wad & shot stay pretty well together as they go through the barrel.
I'm more confused as to how they make seasoning pellets that survive the whole "boom" experience, but still somehow function as actual seasoning during the cooking process.
"Uh...huhuh...uh...you said..." *ahem* So you're saying that the wad is actually what pushes the shot out of the barrel, and by the time any explosive gas from the power is allowed to get past it, the shot is already outside the barrel in open air?
If that's true, then i guess i'm sold! That rocks!

I'm guessing that time is the key. Diffusion is a wonderful thing. I'm guessing that the pellets are hard enough to survive the transient high temperatures of being shot out of a gun, but baking long and slow gives them time to melt and diffuse themselves (at least a bit) throughout the meat.
