Lee depriming pin for .30 calibre

[longbarrel]

Anyone know where a guy can find a .30 cal depriming pin for a lee rifle die on a Sat. night or Sunday in Central Indiana? i.e. 30-30, .308, 30-06, or even 300 win mag?

No. I had to get mine direct from Lee. Even though I have only broke one. Ever. And that was because I tried to deprime berdan .308 and forced it.

Lee doesn't use replaceable pins like Redfield. The entire assembly gets replaced.

Sorry but the pins are replaceable in the Lee dies

Technically, the pin is not replaceable, you have to change the whole sizing mandrel. RCBS has a replaceable depriming pin.
To the OP, sorry I don't know of anywhere in Central Indiana,or NI that's open Sunday. Do you have a Bass Pro or Cabela's or GM close by?

For the wolfman.....

That is correct. But the pin is part of the expander assembly. Therefore the entire assembly has to be replaced. In the Redfield system, you can buy 6 packs of pins that are held in the expander assembly by a compression nut.

I'm probably not saying it right. In any event, I don't know of any gun shops open Saturday night.

I don't know of any local shops (regardless of whether they're open or not on a Saturday night), that carry just the decapping pins/mandrels. That includes Profire. I had to order mine from fsreloading, but have seen them on natchezss as well. Good luck.

Ahhh a case of where parts isn't necessarily parts. I only reload pistol where the deprime pin only does one function, and it never crossed my mind that the pin on a rifle die actually does 2 functions.

Depending on what you mean by "central Indiana", you can come get one from me. I'll let you have one out of one of my die sets and you can bring it back or replace it.

Profire, or Bradis may have a universal depriming die.

I'll probably be heading into the shop for a few minutes today. PM sent, I'll get one for you.

The pins for the 30cals are tapered pins, and although you can use a standard decapping pin, you may not get proper interior neck sizing.

Going through the same thing myself, I feel the pain
