I'm still fairly new to reloading. I go one step at a time on a single stage press and process everything by hand.
Cases were lubed and the correct shell holder was being used. None of the batch was berdan primed. I kept the shells that broke the pins separate. One Winchester, one R&P, and the rest were PMC. I looked around and found out that both Winchester and PMC have problems with offset primer hole as mentioned, but none of these were offset.
There were military crimp brass mixed in, but I had no problem with any of them(LC and FC.) What do you guys do to deprime crimped primers? I was told it was the same process except that you had to remove the crimp of course.
I think that I will try the Lee Universal decapping die. That should be cheaper than replacing pins.
