School me on small rifle primer reloading

[Graywolf.260]

Just got some Peterson 260 Rem Palma brass. Loaded 50 rounds with CCI SRPs after getting a small rifle primer seater. Btw it shoots great.
Now trying to reload- decapping with Lee universal decapping die and it doesn't work. Is the pin too fat? do I need a special small pin decapping die?

Yes the pin is probably too far and getting stuck in the flash hole.

At least Lapua 6.5 creed brass is that way. I had to ditch my universal recapping die and get the. Brownells branded one. It comes with replaceable pins for small flash holes.

Here is the one I bought with a few extra pins.

It’s not the small primers that are the culprit. It is the small flash hole. For example, 223 uses small primers but has a .08” (large) flash hole

Thank you gentlemen.

I ran into that issue with Lapua 6.5 creedmoor brass. I took the decapping rod out of a Lee collet die and sanded it down to fit the Lapua brass flash hole. Works great now

Last Decapping die you’ll ever need
I love mine and its super quick to swap between small and large pins.
