Are your flash holes centered?

[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 485149, member: 24624"] I have not tried this. But being somewhat OCD, I guess I'll have to now. I agree that it may have little effect. But, why not do it if you have time and can afford to set a batch of irregular pieces aside for such things as pressure workup or foulers. On the other hand, I have often pondered the distribution of powder for a non-compressed load lying horizontal in the chamber. That would certainly vary more than an off center flash hole although a long oval flash hole seems highly undesireable. I'd be real surprised if the benchrest shooters haven't studied these things to death and I'm pretty sure that loads that approach case capacity are often recommended/preferred for that very reason. Do you index your brass for the thin side of the case to offset the banana case syndrome? Perhaps you should index the flash hole to 6 o'clock? Do you suppose that the offset flash hole is a reflection of overall case concentricity? If these are the things one worries about, then Lapua may well be the least expensive brass on the market. --richard [/QUOTE]
