slim jims will keep you politically corrrect....

Not quite... The CCI 11's and Remington 10s are about the same size, but the Remington cap cups are a wee might longer. The Remington caps also have little nicks in the cup edges (see photo above) which promote even "opening" of the cap cup on ignition. They open into four little "petals" which allow most of them to fall out of the right side of your revolver as you ear it back for the next shot. They don't tend to jam in the recoil shield because of this. The ones that do remain on the nipple cones easily fall out/off when you "clear' the revolver after shooting the cylinder ful
