Get a universal decapper from Lee. A great $13 investment. I keep one on a Lee “C” press.

But the Lee pins are too big for the smaller flash holes. I've only got 3 or 4 of them and none fit in my 6BR.

Just measured my Lee Universal pin at 0.068". So if your Lapua has a 1.5mm vent, yeah, you will need to find a small pin decapper.

Sucks to get all fancy. ;-)

+1!! Definitely a good buy! I have one usually permanently installed in my old Lee Challenger press. And the other dies in my Dillon.

As for oversize de-capping pins. Why not just chuck it up in a drill and hand turn it down enough to fit? Use backed sandpaper or maybe a Diamond stone against it a bit. No biggie.
