Re: Do lee full length dies deprime too?
Yes, generally.
I don't know about any special order dies,
But I have yet to see a Lee full length sizing die that did not have the decapping pin.
These decapper/expander pins can be replaced also, if you should happen to break the pin off.
This is easily done, if you should happen to try to decap a berdan case which I have done on several occasions.
CHECK YOUR BRASS FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!
I have two (2) 30-06 full length sizers that I need to replace the expander/decap pins on.
Lee sells the replacements for $3.00 each.

Re: Do lee full length dies deprime too?
I use a manual base and decapper to deprime my brass...sure it's quick on a press, but you can't take your press into your living room and watch TV while doing it....well, you can, but I don't know many willing to do all that.
The decapper/base is like $4-5 and if it breaks, Lee will replace it for free...Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty

It's not just berdand primed that will break them, Stuck media will also.
You finger will not, it de-primes fingers very easily!!!!!!

The decapping pins on Lee full length sizer dies are collet mounted. If you hit media, or a Berdan primed case, they just rise into the die. Use a 1/2" and a 3/4" wrench, loosen collet, reset decapping pin, and continue resizing. They won't break.
