Hornady dies?

Until you try and decap a need an primed case then the Lee setup pays dividends

I broke the pin on the Lee dies doing that, but then as we know, I’m heavy handed. If I meet resistance I just push harder, and evidently over tighten the rod retainer too!

if you broke a Lee what would you have done with another make ? I have tried to decap berdan primed brass that has sneaked into the pile a couple of times , each time all thats happened is the pin has pushed up and had to be reset, perhaps I'll sort you out a set of stubbie spanners next time Aldi or Lidl have them in (and no putting lengths of pipe on them to gain leverage)
