I was wondering if someone can help me out with something?
I have a set of Lyman dies for my 6.5 carcano and I fooled around and broke the de-capping pin and ended up with a stuck case as well. I have removed the case and the broken de-capper. The rod for the de-capping pin is similar to an RCBS,(it threaded all the way up). Both the rod and pin suffered unrepairable damage in the extracting of the stuck case.The die itself is unharmed in any way. My problem is the rod and pin. I can't find a replacement for the 6.5 carcano, I can find plenty of 6.5's but none are for the carcano. I am told that it takes a specific pin, is this true? I have looked on the Lyman website, on RCBS, even eBay. I have had several from eBay tell me they don't see why it wouldn't work, but they are also trying to sell their stuff. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for this die? If I don't find one soon I may have to buy another set of dies, I really don't want to do that, I would rather fix what I have already got. Thanks guys, Merry Christmas!
