Title: I guess I need a new decapping pin.

It did what it was supposed to do. Needless to say, the case didn't make it.

It happens - especially if decapping  brass w/crimped primers.

Is that the Lee unbreakable?
It is suppose to be able to slide in the collet  if it meets à solid object, like a rock or Berdan case.
If the collet screw is too tight it cannot slide up to save itself.

I had the same thing happen to me. Doctors say it's congenital.

No, it was an accident.  :rofl:

The collet was on very tight. I believe it was factory tight. I don't remember ever removing it.

There was a congealed mass of Dacron at the bottom of the case. Question, under what grain would you start adding filler in a 54r case? 20, 25, 30... As you know, I'm thinking of trying RL7 again.

I tried straightening in my vise but didn't live through the procedure. I didn't think to try it with Robitussin.   ;)
