Hey all,
Does anyone have a diagram of common pistol cases (9,40,45) what also includes the primer pocket and flash hole? I can only find the view in which the ogive is showing.

Like this for primer pocket size?

Found this for flash hole size - https://ballistictools.com/articles/flashhole.php

index.php
 
The flash hole or what the military calls it, spit hole, comes in 4 different sizes. But i have not found standards at https://www.cip-bobp.org/tdcc OR https://saami.org

Have a look at the gov. https://discover.dtic.mil There is some testing on what size spit hole is better for rifles. Have not seen any for pistols.

Pressure in the pocket is around 23,000 PSI, no powder in the case. The smaller spit hole will increase pressure in the pocket.
