Need a new decapper for 6mmBR and 6mm Dasher

I just bent my last decapping rod in my Redding Universal Decapper and am now looking for alternatives for another option for the small primer hole on 6mmBR and 6mm Dasher Lapua brass.
Thanks!
 
I use a Lee universal depriming die that I turned down the pin using a cordless drill, file, and some fine emery cloth. I’ve even done hundreds of rounds of 223 crimped primers without a problem.
+ 1. Exactly what I did and it works very good for depriming everything.

Separate step but the Frankford Arsenal decapping tool works great. I do think I had to file, sand, turn.... the pin to fit. I think they make them but I didn’t want to wait.
 
I am on the Frankford Arsenal side. Heavy duty decapping pin. However, the pin may not fit the very small flash holes.

Correct, very heavy duty.
That’s why I like them. Seems to be an heirloom, at least at my age .
Quick work to get the pin to correct size. OR, call and order what you need.
 
it is hard to beat the Mighty Armory for toughness, I damaged to break one of the small decapping pins after 5 years of hard use. Luckily they are cheap and easy to replace. I still have 2 spares that I had bought with the original die, my son in law will probably inherit one or both
 
I took the advice of a die maker and a couple of old time BR shooters and drill out my flash holes with a .071 drill. No more bent or broken pins.
 
I have a MA decap die set up with the 20 cal pin. Will this work on the 6mmbr Lapua & Norma brass w/o any issues?? I'm dipping my toes into the 6mmbr world, so I'll probably have lots of dumb ?'s in the future. LOL
 
I use a small decapping die pin for 6br and 6dasher brass, which is less than 0.060 inches. The MA for the small flash hole is apparently 0.057". The regular flash hole appears to be 0.074".

After looking at the available options, I ordered the MA.
