Hornady dies have a spare pin under the foam-top right corner of the box.

U can call Hornady for replacement spindles, decapping pins

I did and they sent me the new revised spindle and primer rod. The problem is the little plug that goes in after the de-primer rod and before it threads onto to the zip spindle is like it is to small. When you tighten it down it leaves the de-primer rod loose in there so it moves around too much. I've ordered three zip spindle kits from them and it's all the same stuff. I have never had any problems with my resizing and de-primer LEE die for 6.8. I think I'm just going to order a LEE to replace it from Amazon and be done with it. I am getting tired of monkeying around with it. That's what happens when they try to improve crap, it all goes to hell.

Yeah I know but the Zip spindle kit comes with 2 of them.

All bottle neck rifle cartridges require lube regardless if the die is carbide or not. I use One Shot or home brew Heat and lanolin in spray bottle.

I have a big plastic bowl I put all my brass in I put about a 50 to 1 hundred pieces in the bowl and spray it liberally while I'm shaking the bowl around. I get great coverage cuz I've only had a stuck brass case twice in the 7 years. I also spray a little bit up into the die itself as well

I use disposable paint roller tray liners. Makes it easy to hit all the brass with a couple sprays if lanolin and when it gets too dirty from dirty brass, trash it and grab another
