having stress with RCBS size and decapping die

[mooseman1]

i started resizeing a lot of 100 pieces of brass in 30-06 cal and around the 90 mark my decapping pin broke so i grabbed a doner pin out of my 270 die and broke it too as well as my other one from the 308 die so now i'm ready to junk my 30-06 size die any suggestion's?


by the way where can i order replacement pin's?

Phone RCBS,they'll charge you little or nothing.How far was your decap pin projecting below the die?I don't go over 3/16ths. Mur

I know you mentioned you troubles with Brass.
But , is it the yellow brass or are you talking Nickel plated brass that comes from buying Premium federal or Winchester Ammo?
I am just asking thats all.
A phone call to RCBS will or should leave you with a smile after speaking with them in customer Service.

Mooseman, make sure that decapping pin is centered in your FL sizing die, or you may be contacting the bottom of the case off center and breaking your pins. I have been reloading for 45+ years, and have broken exactly 1 decapping pin...due to a small rock in the case I was trying to size. Regards, Eagleye.
