I'm new to reloading and I'm still getting everything setup. I've got a Hornady L-n-L single stage press and RCBS AR15 small base die set. Here's my issue for now, I've got a ton of brass saved and tumbled. When I go to decap a case that has the red sealer around it, I break the decaping pin on my sizing die. I've already killed 2 before I figured out it was those cases. If I run a case that does not have any sealer it runs just fine. Is this common, or am I screwing something up? |

Are the head stamped PPU 08? The PPU case is Boxer primers, but I can't decap them. Tried two and gave up. Was using a Lee universal decapping die. This a first for me, been reloading since the 70's. Scrap bucket for the rest. RJ |

Damn, that sucks. I might have to look into that die, I think I've got a ton of that brass. I'm trying to remember where I got it.. I also saw at least one of those IK 07's too. How is it once reloaded? Do you have the same issue with reloads or is it just the factory primer that's the problem? |

But some primers, maybe 1 in 10 will just punch through. Lube just pin? Will give it a shot. |

If you don't lube it, the pin will pull out of the decapping stem. Ask me how I know. After I started lubing, no more problems with decapping. |
