Even the most careful and experienced reloaders will eventually snap or bend a decapping pin. Whether you accidentally run a Berdan-primed military case into your press, encounter a piece of brass with an off-center flash hole, or simply wear one out after thousands of cycles, a broken pin will instantly shut down your reloading session. Keeping a spare pack of Hornady New Style Headed Decapping Pins on your bench is the cheapest insurance policy to keep your press running smoothly.

This specific "New Style" design features a flared, headed top. Unlike the older, straight-shank friction pins that could easily pull out and get stuck inside a piece of brass during the downstroke, this headed pin locks solidly inside your Hornady expander ball or decapping retainer. Once tightened onto the Zip Spindle, it physically cannot pull through, ensuring reliable, continuous primer extraction.

Precision-machined from hardened steel, these pins are engineered for maximum durability and are designed to fit all Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension (CGND) and Match Grade sizing dies from .22 caliber (including .223 Remington) all the way up to the massive .50 BMG.

• Headed "New Style" Design: The flared head locks securely inside the expander ball assembly, completely eliminating the frustration of pins pulling out during the press downstroke.

• Hardened Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to resist bending and cleanly punch out stubborn, crimped military primers.

• Broad Compatibility: Designed to fit all standard Hornady Zip Spindles for calibers ranging from .223 Remington up to large magnum rifle cartridges. (Note: Not compatible with .17 or .20 caliber dies).

• Drop-In Replacement: Restores your Hornady Custom Grade or Match Grade sizing die to factory-new performance in seconds.

Whether you are a seasoned reloader or just starting out, this decapping pin will help streamline the process and improve your results.
