Universal Decapping Die

Post by PaWNTANK » 03 Mar 2015, 9:46 pm

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a universal decapping die, I like to take the spent primers out before cleaning.
I had a Lee one, but the pin snapped and it is fairly old so not covered under any warranty.
I've called all the usual suspects here in SE QLD/Brisbane area to no avail.
If anyone has come across one at their LGS let me know and I will get it mailed up here.
Just don't want to have to get one in from the states if possible.

Cheers :)

The universal dies just remove the primer with no resizing?

Yeap....straight thin rod that goes into the case, and take out the primer, nothing touches the case walls, neck or shoulder.

I just wind the decapping rod way out?

Should I buy a specific die,

Am I doing something wrong?

I have just realised I am not conforming.


(gets on knees looks up at the sky and lets forth a heart wrenching..) Noooooooooooooooooooooo,

No seriously, I only decap occaisonally and have no justification for having a specific die for it, I can see where some would have a need for one.

It reaches without the sizing bit touching the necks?

I don't think mine would... Will have to check.
