Undersized Decapping Pin Retainer for Redding Type S Neck Dies for 6mmBR

Hi everybody. Recently, I received a Redding Type S Neck die in 6mmBR. I was trying to decap and necksize some Norma 6mmBR brass. I found out, the hard way, that the flash hole for this shell is too small for the decapping pin that came with the die. So, I ordered from Sinclair a set of undersized decapping pins to try again.
To make a long story short, I found out that these undersized pins don´t fit on the expander ball or the retainer that came with the Die. They are too loose.
The question is, is there anything I can buy to fix this?.
I tried the search function but there wasn´t much info available.
Thanks a lot for your help. Sorry if I don´t make myself clear.

I had that problem, I just spun the stem and decapper pin in a drill over a Arkansas stone until it fit the flash hole. I think the hole in .059 so a bit of stoning will not take too long.
 
I got a bunch of Lapua brown box brass in an estate sale with a rifle, the guy opened up the flash hole to normal size...I was NOT happy when I found this issue.
 
I had the same problem. Called Redding customer support, they sent the correct pins out the next day "No charge" !!!
Pin diameter is .057"

Same problem. Called Redding . It was fixed the next day. Got six pins in the mail from them .. Tommy Mc..For FREE>>
 
Don't understand why the expander or retainer won't tighten the collet enough to hold them, the undersized BR/PPC/220 pins have worked in every Redding set I've had. Now the 'competition' setup is different, the pins are pressed into the shaft.
