I'm no expert. I do listen to them now and then. The points made (via Ed Harris) are:
- Wad-cutter brass has thinner walls with a long cylindrical section which extends all the way to the seated base of the wadcutter bullet
- cases made for JHP service loads are thicker walled and have a faster internal taper intended to increase bullet pull
- By loading the "fat" factory Remington bullets or as-cast bullets in unsized brass, and profile taper-crimping in this manner,
- case life is improved
- bullet deformation is reduced
- bullet pull is more uniform
Really I'm parroting someone else's work here. I really recommend reading
Ed Harris' article.
