I like to decap my brass and wet tumble. I took the plunge and got a Lee ACP to do the chore of decapping. I ran a bunch of 45acp and it worked well, Did some 38spl and it also worked. Tried 44-40 in the case feeder and no dice. They are too big at the rim. OK, I can hand feed them. I had been using my Rockchucker with one of Inline Fabrication's case ejectors. That set up worked well but tended to broadcast primers all over the place. The Lee machine does a great job of catching the primers.
SWMBO likes shooting a Mini14. That lady can eat up the ammo when she starts banging steel. If you have ever reloaded after a Mini14 you know that they toss the brass into the next county. Some of the brass ends up with slightly deformed necks. This was never a problem with my Lyman decapping die. The Lee press is another story. The decapping pin on the Lee press measures .215". I am having problems with brass hanging up on the pin. With no shell holder one needs to disassemble and pull the brass off with pliers. I got distracted and didn't notice one hangup and fed a second case into the system. I now have a broken decapping pin and a bent up plastic guide.
Have any of you folks hit this problem? I would really like to do 223 on this unit.
