Cannon shells only stack to 12 and are pretty expensive to make. There's a reason it's illogical to shoot them for TP. Save em for slug shot and melee for your TP if possible. If you can't then don't bother using it to begin with unless you got nothing else to burn your gil on.

I think the only exception would be for a well placed unlimited shot slug shot with a heavy shell from KV.
