Question 357 SIG BRASS

I have discovered in attempting to de-prime this brass that the flash holes are somewhat smaller than normal?? Is there some where to get the proper pins that will fit a universal de-prime die?? Or must I just dress the pins I have down a bit?? Just curious?? THANKS

RCBS has two size pins, and two sizes of stems to go with those pins. Redding even has a smaller decapping pin for BR & PPC cases. I have about 4000 357 Sig brass, but just haven't gotten around loading them, so post what you find.

I have not had that problem, but I mostly reload only Speer nickel plated brass. When the FAM was running the Federal Flight Deck Officer program, 10s of thousands of casings were just being sent to the recycler

What brand of brass is giving you issues?

I have loaded only a few hundred .357 SIG but they worked just fine with whatever pin came in the die set.
