Lee Precision Pin/90783 Universal Decapping

I have been using this pin for over a year. I have de primed thousands of rounds in many calibers and this has worked flawlessly. 1 piece of advice. If you are using a progressive press, make sure your shell plate is lined up correctly or you will break pins. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

I have reloaded tens of thousands of cases. While it may seem like a lot, there are plenty of people out there that have reloaded way more. And all of them will probably tell you, you need a spare decapping pin.I have broken two decapping pins in my reloading career. Both times it happened when I was loading ammo for a major match which was less then two days away. Since I load in the evenings, I could not even get a new one ordered and sent overnight and still have time to make the ammo needed for the match. Luckily I was able to find a spare decapping pin in my extra parts bin. But I decided at that time I was never going to be caught without a spare. These are only a few bucks and they will shut down production if they break. Why not keep an extra spare or two on hand?Both times when I broke a pin it was due to a small chunk of gravel being wedged inside the brass case. The pin hit it, bent and broke. I know, why didn't you inspect the brass first? I did, but when you do so many, sometimes one or two get buy you. It happens. Thats why I have a spare pin laying around.I have also been depriming some military crimped brass. While that does take a bit more effort, every now and then you get one that is really tough. It makes you cringe as you cycle the handle because the first thought is, uh-oh something is wrong, hope this doesn't break the pin. Usually it will punch out, but some of them are pretty touch and its sometimes hard to stop instantly when you are in a rhythm depriming a lot of brass.Get a spare pin. Its cheap insurance and will keep your operation running.

Bought a couple extra OEM pins because I recently broke one of mine using it on shot shells instead of brass cases. Great value and quick shipping.

Great material.. works great

If you reload, you've likely been here. You get in a groove with popping primers out when all of a sudden, you meet a ton of resistance when you bring the next shell up.Now, if you're smart, you stop cranking on the press, inspect the shell, and determine if the brass is off center, flash hole is too small, a berdan primer maybe? Likely you either correct the issue by re-aligning the shell or tossing it if you deem it unable to be saved with current equipment.If you're me, your monkey brain finds a challenge to muscle through. *pull, pull pull, CLICK! POP!* Oops. You bring the shell down to see what's going on only to find your depriming die no longer has a pin extending beyond the base of it. Monkey brain loses again, and now you gotta find a fix.Enter Lee. What you see is what you get. A safety net for morons like me who think a 6 cent case is worth breaking a 6 dollar decapping pin. Thankfully others before me made this mistake enough to have spare parts available at a moment's notice. Two days later, during a weekend no less, and I'm back up and running with a new, better pin. And I walked a way with a new lesson; let the difficult ones go.Helpful tip: buy a few. Buy undersized decapping pins as well. And buy them directly from Lee before you need them. On Lee's site, they're 2-3 bucks a pop. Buy a few along with other spare bits to make the shipping worth it and let it come when it comes. That way when the monkey brain starts talking, you'll have a fix when your clarity returns. For everyone else who doesn't mind spending money to save time, these will still be here.Good luck, be safe, and small groups!

All reloader should have this.

good quality product, very pleased

You can punch tens of thousands of primers until you snap the end off. Buy this for a spare.
