Does the Lee have replaceable pins or is the pin part of the stud. My .223, it is all one piece? It's the pits if it breaks or bends.Not much use trying to deprime crimped primers. I have an RCBS depriming die and keep a half dozen pins instock
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

The Lee universal decapping die has a one piece decapping pin. They are $3 each from Lee.
I don't follow you there. I've deprimed lots of crimped in primers with my Lee decapper.
Most have no problem but a few will test your resolve

I think RCBS replaceable pins are but a few cents each. Been awhile since I purchased them,but I know they rare dirt ceap.RCBS has even sent me them free

Just me- I've knocked out I don't know how many primers with the Lee die including many many crimped in primers with no difficulty or problems of any kind. None of the crimped primers required any extra special effort or lip biting. The difficulty was preparing the pocket to receive a new primer, but I handled that with ease with an RCBS swager. I haven't had to do that at all in quite some time after I quit using any military brass and went to all commercial. If we ever get out from under the current mess, I imagine I'll get more brass so I won't be short like many are these days
I once bought small primer hole brass - but only had to sand down my decap pins and was back in business.

I no longer deprime on the press after getting my Franklin Arsenal handheld deprimer. Easy, simple, fast, and no more debris/crap and escapee primers at my press.
These FW Arms self-centering decappers are currently out of stock but I am going to order when available. Getting the self-centering Swage as well clic pic
