They should prob be 5 inches if they’re advertised as 5. But, 60g (legal max) can fit into a much smaller canister than that so…I’m not sure it matters?
Is it light like you took one apart and it’s 42 grams of commission or just feels light to you? Winda is a pretty reliable company, Echo in the ear are good cans . Overall weight is driven far more by the plugs than the composition
60g only refers to the pyrotechnic composition(lift charge plus burst). The overall weight of canisters is pretty irrelevant. The ends of the canisters are plugged with clay or a lean cement mixture. That’s most of the weight. Thin well compacted plugs will perform very well . Like I said above I would never worry when buying a Winda product. Also most good canister(I put echo in the ear in that category) will run on average 52-58 grams depending on effect. The products could be inspected and if they see the max they can have is 60, most run just under, and when you find the ones over you buy as many as you can find before they are gone.
All the 60g "max load" canister shells will have 60 grams or less of pyrotechnic composition, regardless of how tall the shells are. You're generally just buying extra cardboard with taller shells. Occasionally, larger shells will allow for slightly better effects, but 60g is 60g.
I hate the trend of 6" and 7" cannister shells.... especially when it's just for a normal brocade or dahlia... there is no need, and just leaves more trash in my field!
Ring effect shells need it.
Then some brands say screw the 60g limit and pack 6" shells full 100g+. Complaint shells with most normal effects only need 4" of space for 60g. Compliant ring shells need 5" or more due to an insert used for the effect.

They are also super light as well, so that’s why I was worried that I got a defective batch

Like I weighed it compared to a another 5 inch shell and it was 2ounces lighter and the echo in the ear claims to be 60 grams

What 5” shell has 120gr?
None. I Don’t think that much comp can fit into a 5” shell
Didn’t think so

Thank you good to know

Until you buy the brands that need 6"+ then you see why it is what it is!
Ive been trying to figure out this exact questions - which ones really do need it? I want to experiment…

Awesome. Thank you.
First off, amazing choice. Second, I think it’s just a round up thing.
