[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 510590, member: 15748"] LRHWAL, Don't sweat it, it won't make any difference. Some years ago, Creighton Audette did a series of pretty exhaustive tests on this issue for the NRA's American Rifleman. He was testing LC Match brass in 30-06 and had accumulated a pretty good stokpile with grossly off-center flash holes. After testing for pressues, velocity and accuracy against other "perfect" cases from, the same maker, there was virtually no difference. Lot of energy in that little primer, and it'll find it's way through a flash hole whether it's right in front of the center of the anvil or not. No worries here. [/QUOTE]
