The longer brass is used to form a projectile shape crimp and we used the same case and crimp for at least four different loads. They will eject fine unfired from a unmodified ejection port but once fired will have a hard time clearing without mods.
OK, thanks for the info. Does the crimp hold any extra powder if you're doing a full-flash load in the cartridge?
