    Sorry that's one of the things I just don't see not having a need for, however if by chance you can't find one here, try here:

    Several websites have them. Went to Cabelas today and they don't have anything. Just seeing if anyone had one they don't need.

    My recommendation is to avoid the Lyman universal de-primer. They seem to average about six cases before the pin snaps. Mine made it to ten.. They said replacement pins are only $3.95 and most folks order two..

    I have a lee and a Harvey I use the Harvey the most on range stuff.

    OOPs I forgot I have a broken Lyman as well. They do not replace the pins for free even if it breaks in the first ten cases.

    Go here to read about The Harvey.

    Nice thing about the lee is the pin will push up rather than break in most cases. Whatever route you take get an extra pin because it you don't it will break and you will be waiting for a new one. This includes the Lee and the Harvey I have broke them both too.

    Decaping die

    If you're doing any Military/Law Enforcement crimped at all make sure you get an extra pin.

    I find my RCBS universal decapper very useful to decap dirty range brass prior to putting them in my polisher. Don't have to worry about lead in the dust that way.

    Me neither.

    Thing is, I don't use it (Lee de-capper) all the time, but no way would I sell it or give it away. I also have a (Lee) hand set that has the base and a decapper rod that you use a mallet and whack the spent primer out with. I use that for stubborn or really stubborn LE/mil-crimped brass.

    I gave well under $10 for that Lee de-capper a while back and it was a great investment.

    Yep. I've never broken a Lee de-capper and that is one reason why I like Lee full-length resizing dies so well. On the odd occasion where I run into crimped or berdan primed brass, the decapping pin simply slides up in the compression nut rather than breaking.

    I've known reloaders who have broken them, however, because they torqued that compression nut down so tight so it WOULDN'T slide up--which defeats the entire purpose of the design.

    Same here. I've decapped about 11,000 rounds and have yet to break a pin with the RCBS.
