Milanuk--
Had the same problem with RCBS 6BR dies--the decapper tip is too large.
This is covered in the FAQ, but it is worth repeating. When Lapua started making 6mm BR Norma brass ten years ago, Lapua adopted a 1.50mm,0.059") flash hole size. However, Lapua tells us that production tolerances run up to 1.60mm,.063"). A standard decapping rod is 1/16",.0625") decapping rod. Redding and Harrell's ships dies with .057" diameter decapping rods--except when they make a mistake.
You choice is to ream to 1/16" or get the right size pin. We prefer the latter. If Lee doesn't make one, you'll need to turn the pin down or decap with a different die.
