You could email Lee directly and see if they will send you one FOC under warranty but it may be a long wait - Kranks probably best bet for speed.

Kranks are still fulfilling orders.

One of the reasons I use RCB & Hornady dies, you can get packs of replacement pins!

I am surprised you managed to break a Lee pin, I occasionally over the years have had a Berdan primed case sneak in and all that happens is the decapper/sizing stem moves up and has to be reset, by loosening the clamp nut and tapping it down, and then retightening the nut, are you sure its broken and not just pushed out of the way ?

never needed a replacement Lee pin as a better design

I’ve used a drill bit of suitable diameter (2 or 3mm) as an interim de primer before now. I’ve a feeling that’s what’s in the press now.

For £10 more you can get a stand-alone universal decapping die.

The same decapper from Kranks is a lot cheaper.

I’ve broken 2...... but that probably doesn’t surprise you!

Try vanguard reloading on or there’s a company on that do 3 for about £10

Pigeonbasher1 are you sorted?

If not I can loan you the expander out of my standard .223 die until you get sorted, I only use it for fireforming loads and not doing those anytime soon as I have a couple of hundred cases formed

I've drilled the old broken pin out before and used a wire nail once I'd cut the head off to replace the broken bit. All worked fine. I've done this several times now and so long as you keep it straight or araldite it straight if you have to drill an oversize hole then I don't think you'll have any trouble.
