There are a lot of one/two barreled shotguns single shot in there. So, the brass shotshell is wellcome for 2 factors: the abusive price of the 209 primers (about 2 real=0,40 USD, while CBC 56 6,45mm primers cost about 0,30=0,06 USD) and also the wads, that in the metal cases you use paper or felt disks to close and punched common paper among powder and buckshots. CBC is Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos, the same Magtech (name adopted by its American brench). Modern powers are commonly used in these shotshells with a burn time of about 0,30-0,40 ms (miliseconds). Basically, you can use the same powder that are used to reload .32 Auto, .38 SPL, .380 ACP... In Brazil, are used the powders CBC 216 (0,35 ms) for 12-20 calibers and 219 (0,40 ms) to 24-40 calibers (9,1)</p></blockquote><p></p>
