Depriming & resizing using a press is so easy for the leverage you get. Same thing with priming brass. Never bought into other tools & never did any reloading of an step infront of the idiot box. Reloading for me was about getting away from distraction like TV the wife & dawg.Sounds great, once I get my rhythm.
I must have patience, learn how to do each step and do only a few at a time until I have my formulas just right. So far, I haven't even mastered de-priming!
That's so simple and easy. It's good to know it's available in case I end up needing it someday. But, guess what I did?If you need someone to help, by all means do so. No shame in it.
Or, get a Lee decapper and base. They are about $10 on Amazon. It just adds a step. But it also means a little less work to size too. If you get the decapper and base, just take the primer pin out of the die and save it in the box. Use a plastic mallet or a small hammer. They work great.

You have discovered why I dislike Lee dies, the de-priming pin holder. Rocking along and hit a crimped in primer and it moves the pin. I've tried about everything except JB Weld to hold it in place. Finally went to Hornady dies and problem solved.

My Hornady dies use the same collet system as my Lee dies to hold the decapping pin.You have discovered why I dislike Lee dies, the de-priming pin holder.

I bought this decapping die a couple
of years ago. I haven’t had to replace a broken pin yet but I have had to switch to the smaller diameter one and back a couple of times. Super simple and no need to tighten more that just over finger tight.
Mighty Armory MAGNUM Decapping Die w/ Primer Flicker Spring .078 pin Blemished Discount $15.00 Blue Color is not blemished.
Mighty Armory’s innovative decapping die designs utilize a spring-loaded primer flicker. The spring design allows upward shaft movement before contacting a stop.
