[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 2857604, member: 9117"] The factory CCI shotshell has something like 53gr. of shot in it. I'm guessing they have to keep it short to deal with cycling issues. Since I'm shooting these in a revolver, I don't have to worry about that. I used the whole capsule, which makes it basically full cylinder length and holds around 108gr. of shot, which ought to be doable in 9mm. That allowed me 4.5gr. of Unique and just enough capsule to grab ahold of with a light crimp. I'm finding that there's a thin line between crimping the case and cracking the capsule. I'll be surprised when I shoot the first one, if the other 2 don't crack and break or jump forward in the cylinder a bit, since I haven't been able to put a super duper crimp on em. Will give it a go when it dries up a bit..
