Typical Use Cases:
- Replacing a broken or worn decapping pin
- Maintaining smooth depriming of small flash holes (.20 cal)
- Keeping spares for uninterrupted reloading sessions
Why It Matters

- The collet system reduces breakage risk by allowing controlled slip under pressure
👉 This design is especially valuable when encountering:
- Crimped primers
- Off-center flash holes
- Dirty or obstructed brass
FAQs
1. Why is a .20 cal decapping pin different?
Because:
- Smaller flash holes require thinner pins
- More prone to bending → requires precision and care
2. What happens if the pin hits resistance?
✔ The collet system allows it to slide instead of snapping, preventing damage
3. Can I use a universal decapping pin instead?
❌ Not recommended:
- Many universal pins are too large for .20 cal flash holes
4. How do I know if it needs replacement?
- Bent or off-center pin
- Primers not fully removed
- Increased resistance during depriming
5. Should I keep spare pins?
✅ Yes — especially for:
- High-volume reloaders
- Small calibers like .20 cal
