[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 798460, member: 39764"] Little heads up, thats Berdan primed. You can remove them with the proper decapping tool but they must be Berdan reprimed. That style is usually found on foreign made brass, not domestic. I don't have any resizing die sets that have the decapping pins inserted. Thats the first thing that comes out when I get a new set. I use both the RCBS and Lyman Universal decapping dies depending on which one I pick up (in the same box). Westcliffe.... The pins on my loaders get Lubrication Engineers teflon fortified synthetic GL 8 grease. My brass all gets Hornady One Shot. Never had issue one. Actually, One-Shot and commercial die release compound are very similar, basically an EP lubricant in a light solvent carrier. I'd be real concerned, using any substantive grease to lubricate a bottleneck case in a FL die because in a FL die, the bottleneck itself forms a wedge seal (as it's reformed) in the die body, hence the relief hole in the die itself. Block that hole and you wind up with dented shoulders on a bottle neck case. I want the least viscous lubricant possible and as little as possible at all times. [/QUOTE]
