My 1st thought is the lot of brass you have may not have the flash holes centered, 2nd the resizing die did not have the spindle assembly tightened in the die. 3rd the spindle assembly wasn't centered in your die and that can be checked with the eyeball test. For what it's worth bending or breaking a decapping pin is rare, I can recall only one pin in 45 years. One last thought look at your shell holder slot in your ram and see if there is a metal chip or some other crap preventing the shell holder from fully seating in place. You may also consider purchasing a universal decapping die to deprime cases and then toss them in your tumbler and clean them before resizing (dies are expensive and you don't want to scratch them)!
