Primer flash hole size & consistancy.

I was sorting some .45ACP brass and noticed that the Federal cases had a larger primer flash hole than Winchester, Remington, Starline or Speer. Will the larger hole affect shot to shot consistency?

Its an interesting topic.

I know with rifle ammo the usa shooting team actually went with a new brass using smaller primer holes. However some of the shooters still were not to keen / sold on it.

In my opinion I think it would all come down to the actual primer used. How violent/hot it is.

Yes in an accurate rifle, no in a handgun. Or maybe it will but you will never notice.

All righty then. Sounds like an interesting research project if I had access to a ransom rest but I will just relax and shoot the damn ammo
