Ok, I have been beat up a couple times on the subject so I found my bag of culled Norma brass. Was scrounged maybe 5 or 6 months ago so no idea on what Norma flavor it is.
The flash hole in a couple random win brass best I can measure is around .075. A new Lee pistol decapping pin measures around .060 at the tip to .070 so it seems tapered. I chucked it in my drill and used a dremel with a small stone to turn it down to around .050.
I decapped a few Norma and used a normal toothpick to get a guesstimate measurement and best I can get is the flash hole is around .052 which is a large difference. Toothpick goes through flash hole of the win and some new starline 44 I had laying on bench with little drag.
I know with a fancy decapper or whatever you couple push through the small pocket I would figure that would extruder some brass maybe effecting how a new primer would seat.
I'll probly decap and load them all for woods walking and use the modified pin until it breaks if it ever does.
