I originally bought a set of Lee dies for .308. While using them I didn't quite push hard enough when sizing/depriming, and the necks were not tight enough. Of course, I didn't notice this until I went to seat the bullet, at which point I had a bunch of brass with live primers.
Looking at the Lee dies, it appears there is no way to remove the decapping pin. I bought a set of RCBS FL Dies for 308 and the decapping pin can be screwed out, which allowed me to resize the brass without having to deal with the live primers.
Just wondering if I am missing something about Lee dies...the decapper looks sort of like it is screwed in, but either I am not applying enough force (in which case I need to do some more pushups or something, as I twised hard) or it's threadlocked or just not designed to come out.
