He made a mistake on the case wall thickness, probably a typo. Should read:
"As a general rule, and rough estimate, you can count on a handgun case wall being right around .010-inch thick." Not .0001-inch thick.

I was told recently never to crimp non-cannelure bullets, even lightly. I have always put a very (and I mean very) light crimp on .223/5.56 and recently .308 with out any noticable difference as compared to non-crimped, which is where I started out.
What i have noticed is some rounds OAL shortening, especially in the bottom of the mag on my 5.56 that I wasn't crimping, and thus started.
My recent .308s (with light crimps) were very accurate, had good velocity, and had no over pressure signs.
Old wives tale or cold hard facts?
Experts, please chime in!
