stuck primers

[hendershot]

I'm sure we've all had the problem that when we resize our cases the primer gets stuck on the decapping pin and gets drawn back into the primer pocket a little preventing the case from being withdrawn from the shell holder. Talk about frustrating! Is there a clever trick to prevent this? This has happened with my Redding SB die and now my Harrell's die. I've considered filing the taper off at the pin tip hoping it would prevent the tip from getting stuck in the anvil. I'd rather not attempt this until I have a replacement decap rod assembly in case some unforeseen problems arise. Any thoughts? Dan

Easy fix. Take a sharpening stone & lightly stone the end of the pin so as to give it a slight radius.

Great thanks for the advice Phil. I have nice little piece of india stone that will work perfectly.
