I loaded up my Ted Cash capper today with Remington #11's and by the time I got to the range half the caps had turned over sideways in the capper and wouldn't feed. When I got home I measured some #11's and got these results:
Remington: .142
CCI mag: .162
RWS: .156
The Remingtons worked fine, just not in the capper.

Measured mine
REM. .152 CCI .165 RWS .160 I use a Polish Capper and have no problems. May be they do not hold close tolerances in manufacturing as they should. :dunno:

The Remington 11’s are definitely shorter than the 10’s. They are the same internal diameter so the shorter 11’s will fit on the larger taper of the 11 cones… the attached file should be a sticky…
