| Good news, bad news, The Sinclair flash hole uniformer/reamer is length tolerant. The bad news is that you have to twirl it by hand (it chokes on brass chips if you try to power it up). JCN |

| I've got the Lyman uniformer and it works pretty well. In theory your supposed to have all of the cases the same length, but the bit is such that you can get away with them being otherwise. |

| I've been using the Sinclair tool for close to twenty years, with good results. |

Hey Dennis, Welcome Aboard!
Concerning your Case length "variation", I'll guess you are using a Lathe style Case Trimmer. If you are interested in getting them all the same length, try the really inexpensive Lee Case Length Gauge/Trimmer.
I don't like everything that Lee makes, but their Case Trimmer has won me over. You can sit in the den watching JAG and trim Cases over a trash can while enjoying some iced tea. The ones I use are very consistent and no need at all for a Power Tool. |

| I'm looking to replace the Primer Flash Hole Uniforming tool that I bought years ago. The one I want to replace was made with a center drill in a piece of aluminum tubing with a wire nut on the end. It was the first one that I had seen advertised. Now it seems that it gets harder to line up the cutter with the flash hole. I'm looking for one that does not require that each case is trimmed to the exact same length (I'm lucky if I can get the cases with .004 inches of each other!) I can keep them within the minimum to maximum measurements but not any closer. Is there one that meets my requirements or am I out of luck? Dennis Mickey @ Littlestown, Pennsylvania |

| I use the Sinclair chucked in a varialble speed drill. I turn it slow and it does a good job. I admit I haven't used it in the last two years. I switched to Norma brass and found I couldn't improve on the pocket. The pockets were fairly uniform; enough so as to make messing with them a wasted on my time. |
