Some questions.

[Boer seun]

Hi all well I have a bit of a dilemma again I broke the decapping pin on one of my dies(Dont ask, but it has something to do with milsurp brass and and the primers they use), now money is a little tight these day's so I don't want to spend lots of $$ fixing this.
Can one get replacement parts for lee dies or is there somewhere's a guy could send it to be repaired?
Thanks Boer

If you have a Universal decapper use it,then size if its just the pin broke.
I have done this a few times.DAN>>>

Lee's website show replacemant parts for all their dies. I don't know how easy it is to get them here though

Isn't the Lee decapping pin guaranteed unconditionally for life? I'm sure it is, at least with some of their dies.

I think their pins are simply needles from needle roller bearings.
They are extra hard and extra tough.
I think you can have them in packs from Lee.

If you are breaking pins, check to make sure your decapping stem is centered in the die.

That's exactly what happened altough I did not realize that it was Berdan primed until it was too late.
Hell did not even know that it was milsurp until after I broke it.
And as luck would have it it seems to be South African millsurp, ironic!
