Decapping pin help - 03/21/2015 8:48 AM

Need some help guys. I broke the decapping pin on my RCBS 475L sizing die last night. It's the type that has a threaded head to attach to the threaded adjustment rod the goes thru the die. I'm having trouble figuring which one on there website is the correct one. Thanks in advance

I think you need the heavy duty decapping pin.

I'd bet if you email RCBS and tell them which die you have, they would send you one, gratis.

I normally use Lee dies but this set came with the revolver. The dies bumped around during shipment and bent the pin. When I tried straightening it the end broke off.

Is it a headed pin or straight sided?

It has a knurled female threaded head that screws on the threaded adjustment rid that comes out of the top of the sizing die.

Still pretty sure it is the pin I mentioned in my first post.
I would call RCBS on Monday to verify.

I sent them a email and asked. I do think the one you mentioned is it.

Make sure the pin is snugged up and the threads in the die tight or the misalignment will cause a break when the pin hits brass instead of primer. I learned the hard way.

Just got a reply from RCBS. They stated it is part #9622. They also stated they sent one out no charge. How awesome is that for customer service?
