    Should be able to get them from the Lee website. You only have to pay the shipping.

    If you are talking about the replaceable pins only, try measuring needle bearings from replaced automotive universal joints to see if they will do the job. Just a thought.

    Are these for the Lee Loader?
    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    Yes, the kind of decapper that comes in the Lee Loader for rifles. I decap off press, especially military brass and I break a pin off once in a while. So I need replacement decappers and Lee only offers the complete package and not just the decapper.

    The pin is replaceable if you have a lathe.

    If you heat the end of the decap shaft, the old pin may pop out. In the past, I have used an RCBS pin as a replacement. Not sure, but I think I used the small pin.

    Some very good advice but I still need the decapping tools.

    Ebay has some brand that is offering 10 for $12.
    These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.

    I have found that the spokes from bicycle wheels work for most dies. Cut to the right length, round the end and use.

    The punch diameter on mine is .305, that is an odd number or I would offer to make some for you.
