How do you members treat the brass with larger than normal flash holes. :huh:

Do you cull it out of the mix or do you go ahead and load it with the standard cases?

I assume the brass with the large flash holes was originally used in LF or HMF primers.

The only place I see enlarged flash holes is first generation Winclean made before they went to small primer NT cases.
I just leave them in the mix.

The ones with large flash holes I seem to have the most of are Federal, Speer, and Brass Blazer?

Several years ago I found ca. 100 cases of the Winchester brass with large primer holes. I loaded them and measured the velocity - for all practical purpose they were identical with overlapping SD's.
