Will these large decapping pins fit my standard Hornady Custom-Grade New Dimension reloading dies?

No, these large decapping pins are strictly incompatible with Hornady Custom-Grade New Dimension dies, which utilise the Zip-Spindle collet system and standard replacement pin #390222. This 6-pack (Model 060008) is specifically designed for the Hornady Universal Decapping Die and vintage Hornady Durachrome dies.

What calibre range and primer sizes are these large decapping pins rated for?

The Hornady Large Decapping Pins are engineered for calibres ranging from .270 up to .45 calibre using standard Boxer-primed flash holes. They are ideal for processing high-stress or military surplus brass with crimped primer pockets, but they must not be used on sub-calibres from .17 to .25 or small primer pockets to avoid damaging the flash hole.

Do these stainless steel decapping pins require any Australian electrical or safety certifications?

No electrical compliance, SAA, or RCM certifications are required for this product. These are entirely unpowered, mechanical stainless steel reloading components that comply fully with all Australian retail and sporting shooting regulations.

Can I use these pins on Berdan-primed military surplus brass?

No, these pins are strictly incompatible with Berdan-primed brass, which features two off-centre flash holes rather than a single central Boxer primer hole. Attempting to deprime Berdan brass with a single-centre decapping pin will result in the pin snapping instantly.

Decapping Pins - Hornady 060008

The Hornady Decapping Pin – Large, 6 Pack (Model: 060008) is a mechanical reloading press accessory designed to punch spent Boxer primers out of fired cartridge brass. Manufactured from hardened stainless steel with a polished silver finish, these headed replacement pins withstand the elevated shear forces encountered when depriming tough brass without bending or snapping prematurely. By keeping spare consumable pins at the reloading bench, handloaders avoid downtime caused by off-centre flash holes, heavy factory crimps, or foreign case obstructions.

Key Features

Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from hardened stainless steel to resist corrosion from case lubricants and bore cleaners while handling high-stress primer removal.
Universal Decapping Utility: Engineered specifically for dedicated depriming tasks, allowing cases to be decapped prior to cleaning without running brass through a full sizing die.
Multi-Pack Assurance: Supplied in a 6-pack blister pack to provide immediate bench replacements if a pin encounters unexpected internal case resistance.
Broad Calibre Coverage: Designed to fit standard flash holes across popular medium-to-large rifle and pistol cartridges.

Who is the Hornady Large Decapping Pin 6-Pack for?

Handloaders processing .270 to .45 calibre brass — Requires a reloading press decapping pin sized specifically to clear standard flash holes spanning .270 up to .45 calibre without wall binding or flash hole enlargement.
Shooters processing military surplus brass — Requires a 6-pack supply of hardened stainless steel pins to absorb the mechanical resistance of swaged and crimped primer pockets across repeated decapping runs.

Less suitable for: Cartridges smaller than .270 calibre (including .17 to .25 calibre) or brass with small target-style flash holes, which require a dedicated small-diameter decapping pin; cases featuring Berdan primers (dual off-centre flash holes); and Hornady Custom-Grade New Dimension dies, which require headless rod-style Zip-Spindle replacement pins.
