Dillon won't push them out, but if I tighten down the Lee decapping pin it will push them out. I am still on my original Lee decapping pin, but I keep the hardened decapping pins in stock just in case. A dillon decapper won't push them out? Where does the pin go then? It has to go somewhere or clips break. Most pins will punch right through a primer that would be that tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I switched to the Lee die, I found that the rate of that happening dropped dramatically. Of course I bought the Lee die because the U dies produce better groups according to my Bianchi friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet what you were seeing with the Dillon were primers that were pressed out, then drawn back in. It's a reported event that happens with some Dillon decapping pins that can usually be fixed by altering the point of the pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
