What did you do in the reloading room today?

Not sure what’s going on but was trying to resize some 223 brass and ended up breaking every decapping pin I have nothing in the cases so not sure what happened

Berdan primed maybe?

Not sure what that is I’m not too familiar with 223/556 . I loaded about a hundred a few years ago but never had this problem

Set up a dedicated decapper press. Yeah, it's an extra step but the pins are tougher, it'll keep your loading press cleaner and you wont have to use the pins on your dies anymore.

Some brands of brass have a smaller flash hole. Small enough a standard decap pin will not go through.

Loaded 30 rds of 10mm with the 165 gr Fed Bulldog bullets I got from @redleg10 this week. Various charges of AutoComp for testing. Hoping to hit somewhere around 1250 - 1300fps.
