No matter how many times the OP said that the wire isn't pure copper, people kept posting charts and rules of thumb that are specific to copper and using this to argue that the OP's measurement of the cable resistance couldn't be correct. The OP's measurement might not be correct, but in order to apply charts and tables that are specific to copper to figure out whether his value is or isn't correct, you'll need to factor in the ratio of the resistivity of aluminum to the resistivity of copper. You can do it this way, however it is surely more direct to calculate the resistance for 1 meter of 16-gauge aluminum wire, which will give you a worst-case value for the actual resistance of the copper-clad aluminum.
Or you can use an online calculator. Even if you intend to do the calculation yourself, the value returned by the online calculator will give you a sense of whether your calculation is correct. According to an online calculator I found with no effort, the resistance of 16-gauge aluminum wire is approximately .02 ohms/meter.
Resistivity has units of ohm x meter. If you divide a resistivity value by the cross-section area of wire expressed in m^2, the units of the result will be ohms/meter. Since the units will be correct, it is virtually certain, given that this is a simple thing, that this must be the correct way to do the calculation. You can figure out a whole lot just by paying attention to the units of measure.
So I need to convert the cross-section area of the wire in mm^2 to m^2. Based on information I found on the Web, the cross-section area of 16-gauge wire is 1.3 mm^2. To convert this to m^2, I use the fact that 10^3 mm = 1 m. By simply squaring both sides of this equation, I find that 10^6 mm^2 = 1 m^2.
To convert the cross-section area of the wire from mm^2 to m^2, I need to multiply by a conversion factor that has m^2 in the numerator and mm^2 in the denominator. Thus, I multiply: 1.3 mm^2 x 1 m^2 / 10^6 mm^2. The result is obviously 1.3 x 10^-6 m^2.
I need to divide the resistivity of aluminum by this value. Looking up the resistivity of aluminum, the value I find in several places is 2.65 x 10^-8 ohm x m. The division:
2.65 x 10^-8 ohm x m / (1.3 x 10^-6 m^2) =
2.65/1.3 x 10^-8 x 10^6 ohm/m =
2.04 x 10^-2 ohm/m =
.0204 ohm/m
Rounding this off to two significant digits, the value matches the value returned by the online calculator. I am therefore confident that the resistance per meter of 16-gauge aluminum wire is .02 ohm/m. The round-trip length of the wire is 4 m. The resistance of 4 m of 16-gauge aluminum wire is thus .08 ohm. The OP's value was .2 ohm, which is greater than the theoretically correct value by a factor of 250%. If his result had been less than the theoretically correct value, the difference could be chalked up to the benefit of the wire being clad with copper. But his resistance value is higher, and since the wire does have some copper, the true resistance will be something less than .08 ohm.
The resistivity of copper is 1.7 x 10^-8 ohm x m, which is less than the resistivity of aluminum by a factor of roughly .64. This means that if the wire were made of pure copper, the resistance should be .64 x .08 ohm = .05 ohm. The actual resistance value of the 2 meter (round trip 4 meter) 16-gauge CCA wire is most likely about .07 ohm. Coincidentally this is the upper limit of what Revel recommended. For various reasons, any recommendation of this sort is based on multiple assumptions, specifically assumptions about the amplifier output impedance and the listener's tolerance threshold for peaks and dips in the response. Ordinarily a recommendation of this sort will also make assumptions about the speaker's nominal impedance and the impedance peaks and dips, but in this case the recommendation is given for one specific speaker.
You can find rules of thumb and online calculators for the maximum value for speaker cable impedance and for amplifier output impedance. It is not smart to do either of these separate from the other, because if you are going to fuss over either one of them, the analysis necessarily involves the other one, so it only makes sense that you should fuss over them together.
No matter what rule of thumb you use or what formula or calculator you use, the answer will come down to your personal notion of what amount of effect in decibels is acceptable. No calculator or rule of thumb can answer this for you. If you think the threshold of acceptability should be .1 decibel, you will get one value for the tolerance threshold of speaker cable impedance; if you think the threshold of acceptability should be .5 decibel, you will get a different value for the tolerance threshold of speaker cable impedance. And I will say once again that it depends on the amplifier output impedance. You need to do both in unison. Many people find this calculator useful:

While I find this calculator somewhat useful, I would approach it by calculating the approximate allowable value for amplifier output impedance, then subtracting the actual amplifier output impedance from the calculated value, to obtain the allowable impedance for the speaker wire. I wrote this up here:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...standing-of-amplifier-output-impedance.22380/
The gist of it is:
OI < PI x NI x (1.122^Limit_dB -1) / (PI - 1.122^Limit _dB x NI)
In this inequality, Limit_dB is your chosen threshold of acceptability. The other variables are:
OI : the amplifier Output Impedance
NI : the Nominal Impedance of the speaker (i.e., the mean value over the full audio spectrum)
PI : the Peak Impedance of the speaker
You use NI (nominal speaker impedance), PI (peak impedance of speaker) and your personal value for Limit_dB to calculate the maximum allowable output impedance of the amplifier, such that the response peak coinciding with the speaker's impedance peak will not exceed Limit_dB. Whatever value you get for OI, you can subtract your actual amplifier output impedance from this value to obtain the allowable speaker cable impedance.
