The only thing I can think that might be meant is that in either sizing or attempting to crimp a bullet the case can be buckled or squashed. Another problem can be trying to seat a bullet in a straight case without belling the case mouth. That will ruin a case as fast as stepping on it.
I just had to pull the bullets on some .223/5.56 rounds because I tried to crimp the bullets when the case mouth wasn't at the crimping cannelure on the bullet. Aggravating and pushed the shoulders back which slightly buckled the case body immediately below the shoulder. Pulling the bullets and running the cases into a full length sizer fixed those cases, but if the body is buckled and creased it's a loss IMHO.
Hope that helped. If I'm wrong someone will certainly jump in and let me know.

Something similar happened to me. .223 Rem also.
Seating a bullet. The case started to crush/buckle at just below the shoulder.
Used to think it was the inside chamfer. Or the outside. A burr maybe??????
When I started learning about BR. I found it was the donut thing. Inside the neck/shoulder junction.
These cases were not neck turned. Only happened a few times.

One good example of a "buckled" case is when you try to use a firm roll crimp on 30-30 handloads. The brass is extra thin on those cases, and it's easy for the case to buckle below the neck.
The best solution is to use the Lee collet crimp die. It does a great job without crushing the case. The .458 Win. Mag. has the same problem - and the same solution. There are a few rifle calibers that need to be crimped.

Buckling rounds are those fired by somalian pirates when settling their 4.2 inch mortar baseplates into a dingy.

Deuce = M2HB? (as in Ma deuce)
I`ll guess you mean firing the Browning .50 cal M2HB.
The term is in context with firing the M2HB on the M151 RWS
(used on Stryker)

but...
Aren't those "swash-buckling" rounds? "Buckling" is just the shortened, slang term, right?

Swash buckling cases look like this . . . . If you're not careful, you can be make them on a Dillon RL550 press. It's easy to avoid this problem if you read the directions that come with the press.
Pretty neat aye?

I'll defer to Mr. Willis. He's funnier than I am.
