The RCBS 9608 Decapping Pin 5 Pack is a small-primer pocket pin set designed for reloaders working with cartridges ranging from .22 to .45 caliber. Whether you're running a modern expander-decapping rod or maintaining older collet-style equipment, these pins are engineered to handle the demands of consistent, reliable primer removal. This five-pack gives you spares on hand—essential for anyone serious about keeping their press running without downtime.
Small decapping pins like these are the workhorse replacement parts for shooters who reload higher-volume ammunition or compete in precision rifle disciplines. They're built to fit the smaller primer pocket geometry found in most rifle and handgun cartridges in this caliber range, and they're compatible with both traditional RCBS decapping rods and modern competition-style dies. When a pin dulls or breaks mid-session, having a fresh set ready means you stay at the bench instead of waiting for a replacement to arrive.
RCBS has engineered these pins to exacting tolerances—they're not consumables you should cheap out on. A worn or damaged decapping pin can leave primer residue, create inconsistent pocket prep, and slow your workflow. This five-pack is the smart buy for anyone who reloads regularly and wants to avoid interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What reloading press equipment are these decapping pins compatible with?
The RCBS 9608 small decapping pins work with most modern expander-decapping and decapping rods, as well as older collet-style rods designed for small-primer cartridges. They're also compatible with current RCBS competition-style dies and mandrels.
Will these pins fit my .357 Sig or PPC brass?
Yes. The RCBS 9608 is designed for small primer pocket cartridges, and both .357 Sig and PPC fall within that specification and caliber range.
Why buy a five-pack instead of single pins?
Decapping pins wear and break with use. Keeping a five-pack on hand means you always have a fresh pin ready, so you don't lose reloading time waiting for a replacement to ship. It's especially valuable if you reload high volume or compete regularly.
Can I use these with pre-1990s reloading dies?
The RCBS 9608 is compatible with pre-1990s collet-style rods designed for small-primer cartridges, making it a good choice if you're running older equipment alongside newer dies.
