Ran into a problem de-priming 308 brass this weekend.
I am using a Lee Universal De-primer on a Lee C Press.
The 300 or so mixed range pick up & once fired cases that I had de-primed as normal. This group had been sitting on my shelf for a few years.
About a Quarter of the once fired 308 brass from my 2 new rifles (less than 2 years) would not de-prime. Its not lack of force as I have broken 3 pins this weekend.
I thought if I used the full length die it might line everything up better. These cases will not even go all the way.
What am I missing?
