Billy, if that broken pin is out of a newer die, PM your address, and I'll get a couple in the mail for you. Only take a couple days to get to you, and I've got a pretty good supply. Since I stocked up I haven't broke one.Scotty

I broke a lee decapping pin on new winchester 30/30 brass. There was a chunk of scrap brass in the case. A phone call to Lee had a new one in the mail that day... I was able to finish the batch as I was using new brass and didn't need the decapping attachment just the rod to swedge the case out.

Usually if I get a berdan, the pin is pushed back up. I had one last in a 40sw used that I had gotten.

The scrap must have pushed the pin off center.

I generally like lee stuff but I did have to polish a rifle die once.
