Alright, so the pin on my lee decapping/resizing die got pushed up through the die to the top and would no longer push the primer out. In order to tighten the nut on the top and fix the pin, I placed the die in a vice and tightened the nut. The pin is fixed and no longer moves, but I did mess the threads on the die up a bit with the vice, but played around until I got it to work. Now I am wondering if it would be possible to mess up the die by placing it in a vice??? Is it possible that I may have pressed the die in with the vice and messed up the shape? Possibly causing pressure problems...? Would there be a way I could test to see if I harmed the die or am I just over thinking...? Any help would be appreciated, it is an undersized 38 special die and I do not want to have to special order a new one.
Thanks!
