TL;DR- Lee sending me a free brand new 8mm Decapper pin because I am an idiot. no hassle, no cost, no delay.
full story: I started resizing my 8mm Mauser brass only to find on the very first one that it had 2 primer holes instead of one  Me=idiot.
So, after a quick e-mail to Lee customer service last night at about 10:30 PM, I had an e-mail in my inbox this morning at 7:49 asking for a quick photo of the broken decapper. Snapping a photo and replying, I now have a new 8x56 decapper pin at no cost or hassle to me by Lee. That's great service!

Set up properly it should slip through the clamp nut and not break.
That said, there are times when tight is not tight enough for some crimped primers to pop. I have broke no less than 3 of them. I have had stripped clamp nuts also. A pic of broken pin and receipt and they always sent me a replacement free of charge no hassle any even say they are sorry. They have been very good to me when needing service. |
Just yesterday I was decapping .223 with head stamp "1K" and the pin hung up in the flash hole and actually pulled out of the rod - from google I found out that was a common problem with the "1K" brass. I'll try Lee for a warranty replacement (I have several spares I purchased initially - don't want to be down!).
