Where to buy some decapping pins


Recommended Posts

I snapped my only pin last night reloading some 9mm and need to stock up. It seems they are different than the RCBS pins i had on hand so i couldn't really use them in a pinch either. Everywhere i look, a tiny baggie of pins costs $6 but a princely $10+ to ship. Eff that. I don't even need anything else form dillon to piggy back onto to make it worthwhile to ship and i'm not gonna just buy things i dont need. Any ideas?

Are all dillon decaping pins the.same say like I broke a pin from my dillon re sizer die to a 9mm pin, can I use the extra pin that I might have stored for my 45acp, or are they all different? Sorry not trying to take over thread..

Hmmm, I thought you had a LNL sir?

Edit. Just got a sick deal on a SDB the other day and am going to order some parts and a conversion. If you and NJ Mike want to jump on my order lemme know because I am ordering within the next few days.

I don't use the Dillon decapping pins, I use Lyman.

First you take a broken Dillon pin, remove the nub that was the pin from the barrel. Drop the Lyman pin in place, then the barrel from the Dillon pin and assemble as normal.

The Lyman pin is smaller in diameter than the Dillon unit, they are cheaper and easier to find, plus they tend not to capture the spent primer and try to reseat it.
