.223 Dillion die "dead"

[Red Six Bravo]

Well in my venture to load .223 for my are on a 650xl. I got a case stuck right off the back. The cases were lubed, but may be not enough. To lake a long story short. The case was extracted with damage only to the decap and expanding ball. Does anyone know if I can get replacement parts for the inner parts of the die? The exterior shell of the die is not damaged.

I have some decap pins. Thanks

Call Dillon and tell them what happened. They may hook you up for nothing. If they don't then I'm sure they will sell you only the parts you need.

The decap pin is $5 or so the carbine expansion ball is $16. I think these are considered expendible parts as I broke both in my 223 die once long ago. I bought a case extraction kit (threaded bolt, big washers, tap and drill bit) and have not damaged the carbide ball or pin since.

you didn't say which lube you were using but if you were not using Dillon Spray lube you need to get some when you order the replacement parts..... Don't use Hornady One Shot on rifle brass....D I C K
