I really appreciate the help. I had consulted a few friends that load, and we had determined that we were not bringing the IND down smaller than .200, even if we full length sized. This would be (in my opinion) a wasted step, as 97% of the air pulled brass will measure this right out of the bag. You can definately feel the difference in resistance when seating the bullet and it will tell you if one is not right. The decapper pin on the Lee collet neck sizing die can not be removed, as on RCBS or Lyman, so one of the guys at Titan reloading suggested cutting it off with a dramel tool. Apparently this question had come to them before and this is what had worked for others, so this is what I did. This die should work well now on a dented neck and a replacement collet is only about four bucks. I think you will be seeing more and more questions about primed brass.
Thanks again
