What are y'all using to deprime Lapua brass with the small primer pockets, with the 1.5mm flash hole - like the Lapua 6.5x47L brass uses?
I am setting up to start loading the new Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass and the smallest decapping pin I have around is a Redding pin that's 1.55mm/.059". It came with my Type S dies. Oddly, it actually will fit through the flash holes (I tried manually inserting them) but it grabs a bit, sometimes, and I don't think it'll fly - it's just too tight a fit. I did some Googling and found guys talking about turning down pins for use with these flash holes <---something I'd rather not mess with. I did find some Redding "undersized" pins (part #01059) that are .057" I'm wondering if these pins will work in a Lee Universal Decapping Die - my go-to depriming tool until now. I heard the Sinclair Decapper is great but I can't find one in stock right now. I'm looking for a die or tool that'll work real well with these tiny flash holes. Was hoping some of you 47L shooters can share your tricks with me! Lol!
I know Redding makes some decapping dies but they get HORRIBLE reviews everywhere I looked. Can't believe Redding would make something so crappy; but apparently they do.
Grrrrrr! Can't believe THIS is hanging me up! Lol!
