327 Fed Mag deprime pin
Quote from Reloader on February 28, 2010, 12:53 pmCase stuck in my sizing die (first time ever), and a saw it was the depriming pin stuck in the flash hole. Three die, carbide set. Is there a smaller deprime pin avail for the 327 case ??
Federal brass ... the only 327 Fed brass avail I think.
Thanks,
John

Quote from Reloader on February 28, 2010, 9:01 pmNot a pin problem, but the sprint loaded rod is too long. Took me awhile to figure this out, the threaded pin holder hits the bottom of the case before the stroke if finished, deforming the web of the case and trapping the pin. Backing out the pin holder about four turns solves the problem.
I don't think Dillon realized how much thicker the web of a .327 case is ... not sure.
Just passing on what I discovered the afternoon. I need a shorter deprime rod, not a smaller pin.

We don't offer a smaller pin, but the retaining nut for the 32 is a smooth nut, not knurled as for larger calibers. The knurled retaining nut is too large in diameter for .32 cases.

The whole spring loaded decapping rod is too long, and hits the bottom of the case before the stroke is complete. The pin dia is fine, but when the smooth nuts hits the bottom, it deforms the web around the flash hole and traps the pin.
I just backed out the rod assy from the sizing die four turns and it clears on full stroke.
The web of a Fed Mag case is almost 3/16", way thicker than I would have thought, and thicker than Dillon planned on I would bet.
I can live with it, but it's a work around, not Dillon standard practice. The decapping rod (with the spring on and and collar and the pin) is too long.
Hope this is clearer ...
Thanks ...

Quote from Reloader on March 2, 2010, 10:03 pmThe rod measures 2.627" with the pin retainer collar removed (the smoothe one). I am guessing about 1/4" too long.
I can send you some brass if you like ...

Quote from Reloader on April 30, 2010, 12:01 pmOn the website, Dillon 32 H&R Mag dies say "not for 327" but RCBS dies are the same. Why don't Dillon dies work with 327?
Also, does the 1050 caliber conversion for 32 HR Mag work with 327 Fed Mag?
