650 Primer Removal Fail


Recommended Posts

About 1/200 primers either don't get pushed out of the case, or they are stuck on the pin and reseated with pressure from the virgin primer on the priming pin.  .40 S&W.... Any help here?

I had a same/similar problem with 357 SIG, the decapping pin would sometimes stick in the primer and stay in the case or like yours not push it out.  I tried increasing the depth and that did not fix the problem, what finally did the trick was using a RCBS Large decapping pin.  

 

I was reloading mixed headstamps but I never tracked the issue to a particular headstamp.

Never had this problem with the Lee die.

the RCBS dies need to be rounded off on the tip just a bit.

I used my belt sander and gently kept rolling the pin slowly at about a 45 degree angle to start.  It doesn't take much really.

I've run about 2000 cases through it since then with not a single primer issue.
