Boydy47 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just wonder which dies come with a decapping pin suitable for the new Lapua small flash hole (1.5 mm Ø) brass? Most calibres I currently load for I use Lee dies but these will be too big for the flash holes. Original plan was a second 6.5 x 55 for target but not much available in a 24" varmint in my price range is a tikka varmint and they're on a 6 month wait, I'm impatient so changed for a creedmoor as there is greater choice out there off the shelf.

Webby Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Place lee decaping pin in pillar drill. spin some metal off with a small file until pin fits small primer hole. Or loosen up yr purse strings and buy some redding dies from the ever helpful and all round good bloke that Spud is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillo Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 And said all-round good bloke also sells stepped down small flash hole decapping pins for the Redding decapping rod (or did when I needed them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydy47 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Right ordered the lee dies from Spud as I'm on a budget after buying the rifle, and I like lee dies! Spud - i couldn't see the case length gauge to order with the dies, if you have them in stock could you add one to the order and let me know please ?

Vortex Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Got some Forster dies full length and seating die from Hanams reloading they changed the recapping pins out for me as well with a spare in there. About 120 including delivery. Vortex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 guys how do you ever get the lee recapping pins out of the die?? I have no probe with the Redding ones from spud but all my lee recapping pins in the FL sizing dies from .38spl, through 223 to 308 are seized solid am I doing something wrong here?

Vortex Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thought they are one piece and not removable. That's what I had on my lee die set any way. Posted further up I ended up getting FL and seating die from Hannams reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Got to agree I have never come close to getting a lee decapping pin out - twisted the aluminium die but got no movement out of pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 the lee pin is just a roller pin and very easy to take out. ok, i cheat and grab rod in the lathe and grab pin with tailstock chuck. you can do the same with a drill press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106uk Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Lee dies dismantle very easily, 2 spanners and the occasional mallet to get them started for the very tight ones First 25 seconds of this, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
