I don't doubt that. What I am interested in though is a cite to the specs that substantiate that assertion. All other measurable specs of these rounds are easy to come by but I have yet to find the spec that defines wall thickness as being different between the two. To change the wall thickness on otherwise identical cases would have one of two, or a combination of two outcomes (with very few exceptions, none that I am aware of): either you would increase the external dimensions of the case or you would decrease the internal volume of the case. If there is another option I am interested in hearing that too.
This statement seems to indicate that you believe that the internal volume of these two cases are spec'd the same? If that is the case do you assert that the external dimensions of the two cases are spec'd different? If not, where does the extra space for the thicker wall come from? I have seen specs (from different sources) for internal volume and external dimensions on both of these cases and they all appear to be functionally identical.
I am not trying to argue or even make a definitive assertion here. I am just going on what info I have been able to find so far and I don't like to see inaccurate info floating around on such a "safety sensitive" topic as reloading. I am honestly interested in learning the details on this subject from sources...without too much of a thread-jack.
Reloading has its perks, especially if you are OCD.
With brass, some brass has a different wall thickness. .223 v. 5.56 for example. 5.56 will have a higher pressure compared to a .223. Same bullet, same powder and charge and same primer. This is because the 5.56 brass is thicker.
Anealing the brass after X number of firings.
Bullet seating depth is very important to know, not only for accuracy but for safety. Do NOT let that bullet rest against the lands and grooves!

Separating pistol brass would be the last thing I'd worry about regarding accuracy. If it's not visibly damaged and within specs on case length it's good to go as far as I'm concerned.
