That declaration ( No Difference between +P and standard)
is for Starline Brass only.
It may well be true, in the case of THEIR caseings
Starline has no vested interest in lying.
however
As another poster to this thread has mentioned.
Every Manufacturer has its own specifications.

Factory Ammo manufacturers DO have a vested
interest in causing confusion and problems among
us reloaders.
They are NOT thrilled about us using their casings
to "roll our own".

Anything that causes difficulty in our enterprise eventually
tends to more sales for THEM.

I would not put it past them to foster DIS-Information
surrounding this question.

I am aware that Starline MAKES some (but not all) of the
casings that Factory Ammo Mfgs use.

On another but related point.

I have noticed that spent "NT" (non toxic) ammo cases do not
reload nicely.
I believe that the primers may either crimped or possibly of a slightly different different dimension.

This may be necessary for the manufacturing process, but it
could also be another effort by Factory Ammo Manufacturers to
discourage re-loading,
