Hirtenberger 308 win cases

[WildBoarHunter]

I managed to aquire some never fired old stock Hirtenberger cases. They were cheap, 12€ per 20 pcs. I am reading a lot about them heaving very small flash holes which could be problematic. As far as I understand this is a problem when using once fired brass as it is sometimes difficult to extract a used primer, leading to bent decapping pins as the pin has larger diameter than the hole.
But for new brass this shouldn't pose a problem when first loading it? Any other potencial problems to be aware of?

Depending on manufacturer, you can get smaller decapping pin either as standard or replacement part. Example from Forster:

Or just drill/ream the holes out with the correct drill/reamer size before priming them.
