    Any suggestions on a Flash Hole Deburring Tool? Are the RCBS tools alright? Thanks Robert

    My gun dealer had me go with a lyman. He said if I were going to do a variety of cartridges this would be his choice. Mine does a very good job

    The RCBS tools work fine. I've been using mine for quite a few years.
    You can also use your case mouth chamfer tool.

    The Sinclair International Flash Hole Deburring Tool #DB-1000 is an excellent tool. I used it for many years on my .308's and .300 Win Mags. It can be mounted in a drill press or drill motor, or can be purchased with a handle.

    Those such as the Sinclair "standard", K&M, etc. use a collar around the cutter, which is basicly a center drill, that bottoms out on the web on the inside of the case and controls the cut depth. Those such as the Lyman and RCBS use a stop collar around the shaft that indexes on the case mouth to control the depth and is dependent on the trimmed length of the cases to be the same to obtain the uniformity of cut. Mainly the two big differences. Hope this helps.

    I agree with the sinclair tool, for flash holes, but no one has mentioned the primer pocker tool also Sinclair-as is the title of the string. This tool can be purchased with an adapter to allow for use with a recharge screwdriver-this is for sure the way to go. It also allow you to seat all your primers to the same, and correct dept. They are very well made and last a long time. At least this is how they were made when Sinclair owned the company. I understand Brownells has purchased Sinclair, Brownells has always been top notch, but I don't have any experience with Sinclair now that this has happend.

    I also use the sinclair primer pocket uniformers. I use an 18V dewalt drill with the adapter. I use it to uniform the pockets when prepping the brass, and to clean the pockets when I am reloading the cases. very fast, very uniform.

    .257roberts asked for information concerning a flash hole deburring tool - not a primer pocket uniformer - two entirely different tools accomplishing very different tasks.

    To .257roberts - has your question been answered?

    You May be right, however; when I see the thread it had the title subject regarding primer pocket, and flash holes were not mentioned are you receiving a different subject title than I am? If so that could clear up the confusion.

    As a matter of fact, I have gone back to the board and looked it up again, and it still has the title ""PRIMER POCKET DEBURRING". I am aware that primer pocket truing.deburring/etc is not the same operation as Flash Hole Deburring, as they are two different parts of the center fire case. I was addressing the Title. And I believe I addressed both in my post.

    The title says 'primer pocket deburring'.
    His question is stated as 'Flash hole deburring tool.
    The outside of the case is very easy to deburr and to clean.
    However, the inside of the case flash hole you cannot see and you cannot tell if it needs to be deburred.
    Most reloaders do not even consider the inside of the case.

    When I see 'flash hole deburring tool', I think of the inside of the case flash hole. RCBS makes a tool for
    deburring the inside of the case flash hole.
    It looks like a screwdriver with an adjustable pilot
    for different calibers which also sets depth so you
    don't over cut. RC88102 is tool with 22 caliber pilot at Natchez .

    No doubt about it - he's asking about a Flash Hole Deburring Tool.

    My apolligies for the confusion, Flash Hole Deburring was what I meant to put down as the subject as that was my original interest. I had ordered the rcbs tool before asking about it. Will probably order a primer pocket tool also after reading everyones informative answers. Thanks again, .257
