Thread: Just broke a resizing die stem (Redding)

  1. #1

    Just broke a resizing die stem (Redding)

    Buy a new stem or is this the perfect time to buy Hornady dies with 100 free bullets?

    Redding offers a lifetime warranty. Unless you abused it, they will replace it for free.

    I've never broken a Lee decapper. Just FYI.

    Heck I've even tried to deprime Berdan cases without breaking a pin.

    Thanks for the link.

    Would this work in a Lee 308 die?

    I’ve broken a Lee decapper as well. Thx for the suggestion on the replacement pins, didnt know those existed.

    I have started using my Lee dies with the collet just barely tight enough to push out the typical primer and have not broken one since. If something pushes it up I just tap it back down with a hammer.

    The Squirrel Daddy pins look cool though.

    I was going to ask WTF your problem is that you broke a stem, but then I remembered that I have bent/broken two of them. Well, actually I bent them, it was a large redneck (me) and a bench vise that broke them trying to straighten them out. So obviously it's just a normal part of reloading.

    The #poorfag move is to call Redding and cry until they send you a replacement, which is what I did (except it was RCBS).
