I noticed that by box of 44mag paractice loads was close to empty. My where did those couple thousands of rounds go.

No fear I knew I have a few thousand bullets cast and a bucket of brass.

So I filled up the lee 1000 and sat down to work at about 60 rounds a case pushed the deprimer pin up. I pulled the case out and continued on after another 150 or so another case did the same thing. I pulled that aside and went on.

During a primer powder refill I grapped the two cases and tried the frist one again pushed the deprimer pin up again same with the 2nd one.

I looked at the head stamp and they were both federal cases with off center primer pockets.

In to the scrap brass bucket they went and another few hundred rounds later no more problems.

Dang I like that those lee dies I would have broke a couple of deprimer pins on other dies.

I've got a bunch Fiocchi 223 brass with the same issue. I've reloaded it and it works as well as any other brass in my AR.
