On surp!us is the flash hole larger to compensate for the thicker head?

No, I have a flash hole gage, I know of two other gages that belong to members of this forum. I have measured the diameter of the flash hole before and again after for the sole purpose of checking case head stretch.

Another member drills the flash hole in his cases to the same diameter; his rational? He said he wants all of his flash holes the same diameter just in case it matters.
