Reloading Milsurp 30-06 for Garand

I'll have problems off and on. Finally just started using a universal decapper.
 
I just use the decapper in the sizing die, and if one is a little tough and backs out the pin a little, I just tap it with a plastic hammer, then use an RCBS primer uniforming tool to take the crimp out. Never broke a decapper pin or had a loose pocket yet out of a few thousand cases I resized.
 
Never had problems decapping LC brass with RCBS FL dies. I do have to swage the pockets in order to prime them, though.
 
Use a universal decapper. AFTERWARD YOU HAVE GOT TO REMOVE THE CRIMP or you will have all sorts of aggravation trying to seat primers.
 
No. I use the Dillon Superswager tool to "fix" the crimped primer pockets on nonmatch LC brass or Greek brass.

Regards,
Bob
 
You should be fine, I use the Lee Universal decapping die as well. I would recommend you get a couple of extra pins, for just in case. I have broke a couple over the years, and nothing pisses me off more that to have to stop and wait a week for a $.99 replacement part. So I tend to keep a couple just so I can keep going while I wait for a replacement.

I think I have broke 2 pins and I have done 5K+ milsurp .223 and 30.06, and countless others. It is a good item
 
You won't need a shell holder for the RCBS Primer Pocket Swager. It should come with everything you'll need.
