sierra77mk Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I have mostly Hornady New Dimension Dies. Their "Headed" style decap pins are nearly $1.50 each. But RCBS and Lyman also make "Headed" pins sold in 5 or 10 packs for much less and I'd like to know if they are interchangeable. Any advice on saving a buck or two would be appreciated.

CPD7119 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 FYI Hornady sells a 5 pack of pins on Brownells for $8.99, not cheap but better than buying 1 at a time. If I remember correctly the Lyman pins will work in the Hornady spindle dies but the pin will be shorter than the Hornady pins. I haven't tried it personally though. Get a few on Amazon and if it doesn't work ship em back. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Why are you killing decapping pins so frequently? I might have ruined three pins in the past 3 to 4 years, total. Edited April 13, 2020 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierra77mk Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Damnedest thing. I went thru two in two weeks. Bent the spindle a little first time so I bent it back best I could and got several hundred more loaded then had a case turn sideways on me. I did see a review on amazon that the lymans will work in Hornady dies but are a bit shorter. As CPD7119 stated above Thank you. So $4.00 for 10 of them at Midsouth Shooters Supply. I will tag them on to a future order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
