Hi,
So I decided I'd better get going and reload a bunch of .223 ammo. I started just before Christmas and after just a few cases, I managed to break a decapping pin from my resizing die. Unfortunately I did not have a spare. Dillon precision sent me two spare pins which arrived today. I started reloading again and within a few cases, I broke another pin. It looks like the culprit is PPU brass with glued in primers. There is a red material in the primer pocket. I won't be reloading that stuff any more. I never broke a decapping pin before, and now I have broken two in a week!
