Are they all the same? I just remembered I broke the pin for my 7.62x54r dies, and I need to order a replacement. I'm assuming I need the "large" ones?
Or do I need the "headed" ones? |

Look here > http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1458321323/rcbs-decapping-pins-small Notes on fit of other RCBS decapping dies
•Headed decapping pins for Reloader Special, Cowboy and RCBS "Precision" dies are available, Product #: 404-281 •Decapping pins for 6.5mm through 45 caliber competition dies use large decapping pins, Product #: 798-273 •The best way to determine which decapping pins are needed is to remove the broken pin from the die and examine it to see if it is a headed or straight pin. |

You will need to take the stem apart (unscrew the expander ball from the stem)... then look at the end f the stem to determine what style pin you need. If end of stem look like a collet, then you want plain straight pin. If a "T" head falls out of the expander ball, then you need the pin with head. Common ID for large or small pin that I have seen is that the large pin is usually black color... the small pin is natural steel color (silver). I just keep a bag of large and small as spares, they come in bag of 5,, I not broke a pim in almost forever that I can recall |
