Overview
For reloaders looking to clean up brass prep, this tool is designed to address burrs left inside the flash hole that can contribute to erratic ignition. Its self-centering pilot collar helps it locate the hole quickly, while the adjustable stop is intended to keep material removal controlled. The included Case Pilot Stop adds to its usefulness at the bench when working through .22 caliber cases. It is a straightforward, purpose-built accessory for careful cartridge preparation rather than a general-purpose shop tool.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for .22 caliber cases, so it is not a universal flash-hole tool for other calibers.
- It is a case-prep step focused on removing internal burrs; it does not address other case or primer-pocket preparation tasks.
- The adjustable stop is useful for limiting brass removal, but it also means the tool requires setup rather than being a simple one-pass cutter.
- Its value is most relevant when flash-hole burrs are present from manufacturing, so the benefit may be less noticeable on already well-prepared brass.
