Having a shop and wanting to make my own tools when possible, I started making a tool to uniform and chamfer the flash hole of my 6.5-284 brass.
I figured a section of .250" stainless rod and a #2 combined drill and countersink,center drill) would do the trick.
I was involved in setting the depth of the chamfer when I decided to check the fit of the drill in the flash hole.
The flash hole appears to be slightly smaller than the .078" diameter drill.
Will I be doing any harm by enlarging the flash hole to .078"?
How much of a chamfer should I put on the flash hole?
Of course, this operation is done inside the case.
Thank you,
Aitch
