Why not?
But I suppose there are analytical studies on flash hole size in 9mm range brass.
Indeed. The very thing I’ve been fighting against since I started this hobby. Why not anything and everything?Why not?
And yet the question remainsIt's all just about physics.
And an understanding of internal ballistics.
I have a degree in Engineering and was a salesman for high - end Thermocouples...
ABM All Brass MattersIndeed. The very thing I’ve been fighting against since I started this hobby. Why not anything and everything?
I just bought a pocket decrimper on the once in a many thousand chance I’ll pick up a case at the range that I just can’t live without but must crimp it first. I even ran several hundred never crimped cases through it to prove to myself they were never crimped.
Love it. My new yard sign to counter the virtue signaling ones in neighboring yards!ABM All Brass Matters
Yard signs around my neck of the swamps say things like, "U-PIK black/blue/straw/berries --> call ahead" or "Farm-Raised Beef - This Way --> call ahead" depending on the time of year and how the seasons are growing.Love it. My new yard sign to counter the virtue signaling ones in neighboring yards!
Plus reaming flash holes is just a bit too much case prep time for me. I don't need another step in the process.

You don't have to but if you want greater "consistency", I would.Okay, but again, why?
LOL group sizes consistency... Ah well maybe for some people that applies. Any 9 or 45 I put together is cheap plinkers with plated or cast boolits and smoky Unique. Volume and 'goes bang' about covers my requirements.You don't have to but if you want greater "consistency", I would.
Same for checking finished OAL and chambered OAL for bullets setback. Many don't check it and wonder why their group sizes are not consistent.
Many don't check it then blame "Glock belly" or some case-related failure when they get a rupture and hot gas dumped in their mag well.You don't have to but if you want greater "consistency", I would.

Me too but do you do anything about them?
That was my 1st question. Thought I mis-read the post.I'm still trying to wrap my head around who carries reloading equipment with them on a bike and stops on the side of the road to use it.
My Lee Universal resizes tiny primer holes to almost normal but leaves a burr on the wrong side of the hole. Two seconds with a flash hole reamer, cleaner, uniformer and it's done.I don’t do anything about the larger than normal ones but I have already tested them.
If I had them pulling out decapping pins I would get rid of them or the die. That said, dies like RCBS are going to be more prone to the problem than say, Dillon dies where the pin can’t be pulled out.
Was just popping the spent primers out of the sorted brass from others in 9mm Luger.

Why do you say that?Too small is better that too big. I found these picking up range brass. They are.45 auto.

It’s a very simple thing to make a small hole larger when working with brass. It’s a very complicated thing to try to make a large hole smaller when working with high pressure fittings.Why do you say that?
All the WW (Winchester Western) 45ACP cases I’ve seen are large hole.
