are the same as the "Reenactor caps". They have simply slapped a new label over the top of the old label. If you carefully peel off the top label, you will see the "for reenactor use" label underneath. At least I did on two cans that I peeled:

I find that the CCI caps are not as reliable as the RWS caps. CCI caps will not reliably fire my Richmond Carbine with a right-angle fire channel, but they seem to work ok with my Enfield which has a direct fire channel.
I won't use CCI caps in competition. I use them during practice at home to snap caps.

Have you, by chance, checked the strength of the "multiple use" caps? It is common practice to relabel containers. S&W has done that for years with their handgun boxes.
