That's a lot compared to what I'm used to myself.  Was the bullet indented from the tight squeeze?
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

Was this one on my sheet?

No this came from Rome's package...

Redline good catch, I was using the 165 golden saber sheet as a starting point, I'll correct it to 0.3995"

Looks similar to what was found in their other 180's.

Do you have a couple to chronograph?

I wonder why DT puts such a heavy crimp on all of their 10mm loads?

I am sure he is trying to get more pressure with less powder and to provide better ignition properties, however the main reason is to eliminate "Bullet Setback" issues.  Yes it can happen...think about how many people are seeing bullet jam into the feed ramps or to one side of the barrel as the cycle.  Then think about constant loading and unloading of the firearm, this can also cause bullet movement.  The deeper the bullet goes, the more pressure is created upon firing.
