There was another thread about this subject here not long ago and it reminded me I actually HAVE a tool to debur flashholes. And since I was about to reload some unfired 270 brass I thought what better time to change my wicked ways and debur the holes.

So I sat down with my trusty tool and the new brass and proceeded to start deburring them. After each case I shook the brass removed out onto my hand to examine it. What I was actually taking out of the cases looked like a few tiny grains of gold dust. I did about a dozen cases and admitted to myself........this is just a stupid waste of time. I put the tool up somewhereand plan to NEVER touch it again.

Lets consider this idea for a moment. You have a pile of gun powderdumped into a heap in front of you. Will it burn better, faster, cleaner, etc if you touch a match to the left side of the powder or the right?[8D]

What about if we drop the match on top of the powder?[:-]

I think you get the idea how silly this all is.
