RCBS Universal decapping die pin replacement

Hello all,

I have an RCBS Universal decapping die 'heavy duty', the pin of which I managed to snap in under 20 cases 5mith I contacted RCBS and they said they would send me out a replacement pin, 11 weeks later and it still hasn't turned up so i'm guessing it ain't coming.

Is there a UK supplier that stocks them? All of my Google-fu so far has failed to get a result.

TIA

I got a Lee decapping die that is still going strong. I must have had it 25 years.

I have also found these good to deal with, albeit as a trade customer.

You could try a concrete penetrating nail ground to fit. They do work well

Well I don't know what was going on the other day, there's a few UK outlets selling them direct online 5mith None of them seem to make a differentiation for the regular and 'heavy duty' sized pins though, and they are different. oh well, might as well take a punt for the cost!
