I like to do similar, but I will point out that the odds of rolling 1 on 8d6-7 are literally less than one in a million. IMO over belling is even more annoying than under belling. (Although some take it as a feature - the KE of guns is pretty reliable.)
You could go with (2d6-2)*4+1, but you players might revolt.
You might get some relief from the AD bullets approach of 4d-3(2), but if your players are smart, they won't like that either.
Randomness is not in favor of the PCs in the long term, usually.
