i was depriming a bucket of 9mm brass when i accidently tried to deprime a berdan primer pocket brass, it was mixed in with all the other brass and when i went to deprime it, it went THUNK in the press and no primer popped out so i went to look at it and sure enough, the berdan primer screwed up the die.... now before you all tell me i can not deprime berdan primers in a press set up for centerfire flash holes...i know.....this one was mistakenly overlooked and mixed in with boxer primed brass...
anyways....now my depriming die will not pop out primers and it apperas the pin has been stuck inside the die...either that or broke, but i see no break spot and no little peice of pin is found on my bench or anything....i know the pin can be adjusted and i am trying that....the threads on the adjusting portion of the die is rusty, these are second hand dies that were given to me and I have reloaded close to 1000 9mms on them with no problem til now...
i guess my question is.....did my pin break or get jammed up inside due to the mistken berdan primed brass??
what do i do now??
any help is appreciated thank you ...
