This has happened to me, I'm sure you just punched thru the center of your bredan brass. You got lucky, and didn't break your de-caping pin. I'm guessing the primer pocket is the wrong size for a new primer. Keep that berdan stuff around to "set up" your dies with.
When I saw three holes, I immediately reached to feel the bottom of the die to see how bad the decapping pin was damaged (Lee's so I was expecting at least a partial chip if not completely snapped off) but nothing....no damage at all. I check headstamps on my brass and anything that isn't commercial headstamp gets a visual check with a minimag light but I guess this one slipped by somehow.
Can you post a picture of the headstamp and holes?
