Drilling out the flash hole in bottleneck cases for very light loads helps preserve the case's ability to head space properly. Apparently the detonation of the primer causes the case to jump forward and eventually push a rimless bottleneck case's shoulder back. With high pressure loads, the pressure from the powder combusting negates this, but in low pressure loads there is not enough pressure to do so and the larger flash hole helps equalize pressure between the primer pocket and the case and thus keep the shoulder from collapsing back.
A second opinion promulgates that the larger flash hole helps with uniform ignition.
My chronograph results are inconclusive over the larger flash hole for ignition uniformity, but drilling out the flash holes to save the case's shoulder datum line to head measurement is something well worth doing for cases segregated for light or squib loads.
