[freedompro]

Anyone in Prince George (BC) or area have a spare decapping pin for Lee Dies that they would be willing to part with? Just broke mine argh. Decapping .45acp. Lots to load and no pin! Lol

Thanks in advance.

All the Lee pistol die sets for straight wall cases use the same shorter decapping pin. The longer pin from the universal decapping die will work in a pinch. It will just stick out of the collet nut farther.

1.If its bent but still attached place the body in a vice, heat the bent pin to red hot with a propane torch and gently straighten it. Will last for a few sessions until you get a replacement.
2. If pin is broken off, grind the end flat, drill out a hole 3/32 in the centre. Clip the head off a 1 1/2 inch finishing nail.epoxy in place. Again will last for several sessions until you get a replacement.
