Oh incidently if it was done before I think it's safe to assume that it CAN be done again with Rocky Mountain cases regardless of what your PERSONAL opinion may or may not be .
I think you might want to speak to RMC. I seriously doubt their case is thin enough not to crack, if crimped. The loads I have seen do not have a "shotshell crimp", but just the most modest turned in edge like a rifle cartridge crimp, and they were drawn brass cases. There was also a canalure in the (Conical) bullet.
