I need a universal decapper that is capable of handling Speer 357 SIG brass with the extra small .060 primer flash hole. Redding's will do so with an optional decap rod. Are there any other options out there?

I used a Lee die. I had to take the pin out and basically sand it down I think you can buy a small flash home pin from somewhere

Hornady uses the small diameter replaceable pins.

FW Arms looks nice, but it's going to cost me around $75 for the die and extra decapper for the small flash holes. Buy once cry once? I have an email out to Squirrel Daddy asking if they have Lee replacement pins compatible with .060 flash holes.

Heard back from Squirrel Daddy. They don't offer a rod for .060 flash holes.

Mighty armory has small flash hole pins.

I needed a small decapping pin for some Igman 6.5x55 brass. I had some spare pins so I chucked on in my drill and polished it down with 400 sandpaper. Thankfully the flash holes were well centered so I wasn't bumping my thinner pin into the case. Don't forget to put the smaller pin in a marked envelope.

I used my small pin for just about everything. Even my 300 rum. I think really the only place I'd be carful is military cartridges that tend to have sealed and/or crimped primers. It will be more fragile if you turn your own down like I did. But the mighty armory one should be better than the standard Lee pin

Chuck perry I have. Fw arms but not the small hole pin but what I can tell you is it will blast right through berdan brass with zero pin damage so if the small pin is as I expect the same quality you are correct in buy once
