FWIW, the CCI .22 LR rat shot cartridges that I have on hand all have the crimped brass end. However, all of the CCI shot shells that I have (and have used) in .38/.357, .40 S&W and .45 auto have the plastic caps on the end. I have never found the remains of one of the plastic cups, but to be honest, I have never spent any time looking. I use them almost exclusively to shoot snakes in the yard, and I am always more interested in the condition of the snake(s) than the empty cases.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...
