I notice you did not share the diameter of your de-capping pin in your opening post. I think Bill was simply making an observation, not offering a solution. May not have been the exact answer you were looking for but, still information to be taken into account. Once you DO get the primers out, a flash hole de-burring tool might be a worthwhile consideration. |

_________________________ From LEE ________________________________ Lapua Brass Undersized Flash Hole- Decapper Pin Does Not Fit Posted by Steph @ Lee Precision on 06 March 2018 08:32 AM We do not produce a smaller diameter pin for decapping undersized flash holes. The decapping pin on the expander rod of the die is .062" in diameter, which is the standard flash hole diameter of most ammunition cases made both in the United States and foreign countries.The undersized flash hole should be enlarged with one of the commercial flash hole uniformers. Or use a 1/16 (1.6mm) drill. Uniform flash holes are helpful to uniform ignition. If you choose to retain the undersized flash hole in your cases, you can put your decapping/expander rod in a drill and polish down the diameter of the pin using a fine grit emery paper. This will weaken the pin and you may find that it will break when you decap fired cases. The small hole in the Lapua brass is what I ran into. I tried to take a picture of it next to a cartridge with a standard American size flash hole but my pictures were fuzzy and crummy |

I got a reply from RCBS and they are going to send me 2 of the smallest pins they make. I took one of the spare pins from my custom die set and it works OK but maybe the new RCBS pins will be as good or better and I can put the spare Hornady pin back were it belongs.

BTW: P&P's design of the PPC specified the smaller European flash-hole. They obviously thought it was a good idea so drilling out the brass would be very presumptuous me. Good luck, good shooting & glad you have found a solution! |
