Good decap die for military brass?

[razorsharptokill]

Broke a pin in my Hornady resizing die on 1st piece of LC 7.62 brass. Looking to process this brass all at once which means swaging the primer pocket also so a dedicated decap die would be worth it I believe. Recommendations?

Berdan or Boxer primed?

Berdan or Boxer primed?

I think all Lake City brass is boxer.

I have no experience with Lake City brass. The older ADI 7.62x51 was berdan primed prior to 1993 (?). Was buying the ex-mil brass by the Kg and would bust a de-capping pin from time to time from an older berdan primed piece. Otherwise the RCBS die would handle the primer crimp no problem on the boxer primed brass.

Second on Mighty Armory decapping dies. Built to last. Don't get your finger caught though. The pin has no mercy.

The old Lee universal is still going strong for me. I've deprimed thousands of lake city with no issues.

I use a RCBS. Only broke the primer pin once. Processed a couple of hundred cases.

I like the lee with a hammer. Cheap and effective.

Mighty Armory Magnum decapping dies are really cool and I advise you check them out. And RCBS is cool too, incase you need a second option.

My presses are Dillon's and I use their Universal decapping Die, no complaints ... but I do keep extra pins handy .. just in case and have thankfully not needed one as of yet.

How would someone go about getting a discount code for mighty armory?

rcbs havent broken a pin yet

Mighty Armory. Don't let the price scare you away. After breaking a few components on traditional store bought dies, I went this route and never have looked back. Top notch stuff made in the USA too.

I bought the mag decapping and 6.5 sizing die, it showed up in 3 days
