Lee PrecisionDecapping Die, Silver (LP90292)

Like the price. Works great! If you question Lee's quality given their lower price point, purchase their most recent reloading manual. They go into detail on how they make quality equipment for the budget conscience reloader. Other item to note is this die comes with it's own plastic case. That wasn't clear in the description. Purchasing a de-capping die allows you to decap before cleaning your brass. It will save you an additional cleaning step since you don't need to worry about fouling your de-capping / resizing die with dirty brass.

A few months ago I switched from the walnut cleaning media to the stainless steel/water tumbling media.Much of my accumulated brass has been reclaimed from gravel pits and other back country spots where people shoot and the brass is left behind. Some is still pristine and there's some found laying in the dirt for years, some of which is too dirty to work with as is, let alone considering running it through a resizing die.Reloaders have different views and practices when it comes to the necessity of cleaning the inside of their brass or the primer pockets and that's their prerogative. A clean piece of brass is nice to start with.I purchased this die specifically to deprime the brass, prior to cleaning it with the stainless steel/water media as previously mentioned, even though it's an additional step.The term touchless could be used, except for the shell holder and the decapping punch contact. It is truly a universal die, I have deprimed .204 Ruger to 45-70 and .380 to the .50 AE by simply changing the shell holders as necessary, without a glitch, including crimped primers, using a Lyman All American Turret Press.I suspect the die would work in a truly progressive press to speed up the process but I wouldn't recommend or try it because of the wear and tear of cycling the press without producing any loaded ammo and the brass would need to be closely inspected to prevent any potential machine damage or dirt contamination.It's a high quality versatile decapping die. I would highly recommend it for it's intended purpose.

Fast, simple tool to deprime so you can prep your brass before sizing.I keep one mounted on a single stage press specificly for decapping. Would probably also work well in a Lee "Precision" hand tool.

Works great on 28 Nosler so far. I have de-capping dies for other calibers, but couldn't find one for the 28 Nosler. Now I can do all my brass on this one die. Hats off to Lee...again!

I have not used this die, but it is what I expected. I have other Lee dies that work very well and expect the same thing from this die. The caveat with decapping dies, is the decapping pin is the weak link of the die. The pins are sold in lots here on Amazon as well as other places.

This die worked well on the first 8 rounds i decapped then the pin bent, after numerous attempts to remove the pin and a lot of wd40 i finally got it out and replaced it with a new pin. It looks like other users have found the same problem with the pin, thankfully after reading other reviews i ordered new replacement pins. The decapper seems to be working well since then. I have given the decapper 4* as Lee should use a stronger pin in the die., that's the only disappointment i have with the item and would advise anyone purchasing this to buy some replacement pins for it also as you will need them soon after use. The seller did excellent and shipped the item quickly and i would give the seller 5*****

Awesome for de-priming brass before wet tumbling, clean primer pockets are good. Pin tends to break after awhile, Squirrel Daddy makes a better replacement pin.Highly recommend.

Step 1 of many when it comes to brass preparation.Works great on a single stage for competition brass, and keeps things clean and efficient.Great product.
