Anyone have a Lyman or K&M Flash Hole uniformer and can tell me the length from the tip to the handle stop?

I like the idea. It is something I do to rifle cases. I have done this for a number of years (don't really remember) and will continue.
I have such a device now. The problem is it will not reach to a couple of the rather long cases I now reload. So I am looking for another such device but it must be at least X inches long in order to fulfill the function.

All the advertising I have seen omits this information. But they do tell me their's will work on .22 to .458 mouthed cases. Which I sort of knew already.
 
My old M&M will reach right at 2 3/4" into a case. Style has changed. Looks about the same length.
 
Bought this Lyman lastw week to screw into my new accessory handles. Screenshot_20191017-091634_Gallery.jpg
 
My older K&M measures 2-3/4 inches and my Sinclair has a total length of 4 inches. The guide cone takes up some of that 4 inches. If you need longer you might look at the Sinclair tool.

If using it on a 22cal my Lyman will reach about 2-7/8" about another 1/4" or so if larger caliber so 3" -ish
 
The case alone is just a mite under three inches. 3.9x74mmR, it's one of those European dangerous game calibers.

Looks like I have to make one to fit. Thanks, everyone, I appreciate the trouble and time.
