What's good about the Lee is that it's hard to break. If you do, then you still have the decapping pins on your regular sizing die so you're not out of business. Lee sent me a free replacement.

I remove all the dacapping pins from my sizing dies unless my Lee breaks. Then it goes back in.

It may be a Extra Step but the End Results are very well worth it. Get Spares Spares and more Spares
Soon you will get a Case Stuck. It is not a Matter of If But When. Be prepared get a RCBS stuck case remover .
