Here’s another Decapping die only up date. I’m adding a flicker spring with a flat top and bottom to the die. It sits between the shaft top and cap face. I know it works. Primers flick off pin. Not sure about life expectancy. That’s what we need to find out.. 
let me know if you’re interested in trying.

I put one of the springs in a .40S&W decap/sizing die and I've only done about 2500 so far but have had literally zero primer suck-back problems since adding it.  And this with the usual assortment of mixed headstamp range brass.

I have the blue decapping die. I installed spring but had more failed decapped primers with the spring. I tried it at different preload (cap tighten at different amounts). Failure rate of around 5%. So ended up removing spring and pretty much all problems went away. Now back to maybe 1 in 200 or so cases.

 

Did you add just the spring or the cap conversion?
