6mm Creedmore flash hole question

I have been using Lapua and Hornady LRP brass and a Forster sizing die nd everything works smoothly. Would Peterson, Lapua and Starline SRP brass work ok also, or will it have too small of a flash hole for the Forster primer pin? Thanks Guys!

Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass uses a SRP, so your are either boring them out or your decapping pin is .058" or under, measure it.
 
Both RCBS and Hornaday sent me 1.5 mm de-capping pins at no charge when I called to order them after buying Peterson and Lapua brass with SRP. I've read that Starline does not use the 1.5 mm flash hole in their SRP 6.5 CM brass however, I have no personal experience with Starline in 6 CM or 6.5CM.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I like how the Starline uses the larger hole, same as the LRP. I’ve never used Starline, is it as consistent as Peterson or Lapua? If not, is it close?

The small primer along with the large flash hole is not as good of a combination as the srp with small flash hole. If they would fix this their sales would double because they make good brass
