    Red face Decapping 300BLK empties with a Lee 223 Die - is it ok to do???

    Just wondering before I do this... and make a complete gumby of myself!

    I recently screwed my 300blk full size sizing die by getting a spent shell stuck in it. Long story but Tony Gilling managed to get it out for me, but the spindles thread is pretty screwed - litterally.

    So the wait for a new die parts is 4-6 weeks And I wanna process some brass and first step is decapping.

    So was wondering given the parent case for this is 223 and I have a Lee set of dies for that, can I use it to decap -so I can clean the brass in anticipation of sorting the full length sizing die out?

    Any ideas anyone?...
