Sinclair PPC flashhole tool for .060

[lmorrison17]

When I got it measured .065. This is supposed to be the deburrer not the reamer and it is advertised for the .060 hole. The way I understand it you not supposed to enlarge the hole Only deburr. Who makes that is the propper size?

The reason Sinclair and a few others measure .065 as opposed to .060 is that most de-capping pins measure .062 and many complaints,,mostly to the die maker) were resolved by making the flash hole tools .065 drill size. I know it is fixing the cure as opposed to the problem but that is just what happened. The tool I got from Bruno's measures .062 if that helps any but in all fairness, I took the first one I bought there back because it too was too large.

I already contacted Sinclair and this one is going back too.

Until just the last 3-4 years the Lapua 220 Russian brass had a 1.5mm hole,0.059") which caused problems with "American" decapping pins which were 1/16",0.0625"). Recent issues of Lapua brass now have an approx 0.063" flash hole.

I point this out for someone who may come across some of the older brass, which there is still some stashed back.
