I wet tumble my cases with stainless steel media, and I remove the primers with a universal decapping die, wet tumble and then full length resize, so your good to go.
WARNING. More reloaded ammunition is loaded with excess neck runout for the simple reason the decapping rod is locked down off center.
Look at the Forster link below and the rubber washer under the decapping rod lock nut, the rubber washer allows the rod to float and self center in the case neck. The expander button is also located high on the decapping rod, this allows the expander button to enter the neck of the case while the upper part of the case neck is still in the neck of the die. Meaning the die has the neck centered and the "floating" decapping rod is always centered as it enters the case neck.

On a standard resizing die you can raise the decapping rod and place a rubber o-ring under the lock nut and duplicate the action of the Forster die. "BUT" the cases must have the primers removed as I do before sizing for wet tumbling.
You will need to be careful when raising the decapping rod and not adjust it too high, the last 1/8 of the neck should still be inside the neck of the die as the expander button enters the base of the case neck. By doing this you will greatly reduce neck runout, and this method is mentioned many times at Accurate Shooter.com

As a side note you broke the decapping pin and your problem is very simple, your dies have Chevy decapping pins and you need Ford truck tough decapping pins for heavy loads.
