Do you use lube dies?

I do and love them. I found a REALLY slick trick to make 'em way better, though. I break pins when the case inserts partially and occasionally when I "find" a berdan case.
I drilled and tapped the end of my RCBS lube die with 1/8 npt threads and put a Lee decap pin/collet!! Best of both worlds! I would recommend only trying this on a lathe, but it is really slick. Never break a pin again. Only bummer is you have to hold the die with pliers to tighten the collet.
11/16 drill, 1/8 npt tap, 10 min on lathe, Lee decap pin collet and Lee decapper pin from "decap die" (regular decap pins are too short for this assembly)
