Isn't that the point of a flash hole uniformer?
Kidding, kidding! I jest!
Read this post by UncleNick. Maybe you'll conclude that the whole process is unneccesary.
I report, you decide.

I use a #45 drill bit , keeps flash holes the same. I have opened up the flash hole on Hornady brass, but that's me. If you didn't wouldn't cause a problem. Just like some brass is thicker then others. Have to be percise when loading for bench rest, developing consistent accuracy or loading max. or at the high side. I would think it would change the burn rate when flash holes are different sizes. Changes happen with different primer brands, but to what level, depends on what type of shooting your doing. Hope I helped in some way. Be Safe. Chris
The entire premise of the uniformer is that it will bring perfection to the ignition process by ensuring that the primer torch is perfectly centered and goes straight into the powder charge with no deviation.
Work with me here for a minute. Unless it's a compressed charge, well, that ball of fire is going to be diverted to the air space above the powder charge, anyway, igniting from the top in a somewhat down and forward progression. I've frequently heard in the past that a cartridge is generally best settled with about a quarter inch or so of dead space below the shoulder,and many loads have even deeper voids. I've not heard with any consistency that compressed loads enhance accuracy.
Take that information for what it's worth, merely advice. But if those ideas regarding charge volume are true, the uniformer is just another step that sounds good, may help, but is probably totally useless.
But, what the heck. it takes so little time, it might help, do whatever you choose to do.
