Having trouble getting the pin length to change. I loosened the set screw in the top of the micrometer head but can't get the pin to rotate or move when the screw is loose. Does it take force to twist the pin body relative to the micrometer head?

I don't have any Competition Neck Sizers handy, just Type 'S' Bushing dies. But yes, they do get awful tight at times, and sometimes need help from pliers w/ teeth to grip the stem and get them moving.

Yes, a Redding COMPETITION NECK SIZING die has a micrometer head on it, to regulate how MUCH of the neck gets sized. Moving the micrometer apparently has the side effect of bringing the decamping rod along.
And, there are ON-LINE (not included with the die
) instructions that are much better than the instructions that come with the die, and that mention that the rod holding the decamping pin IS loctited into position, so will take some force to loosen. I didn't even try to move mine. The brass I used last evening was already decapped via the body die (I full length sized this first time), so I didn't need the decapping feature on the neck sizing die this time.

I was able to get the decap rod to move. Had to hold it in a vise with soft jaws and a little pressure got it to come loose. It was bottomed out on its adjustment from the factory. Just didn't want to force it. Thanks for the advice.
