Hornady Universal Decapping Die #050085
Streamlining your high-volume case preparation sequence requires a tough, versatile tool that removes spent primers without forcing you to change dies for every calibre family. The Hornady Universal Decapping Die is engineered to decap live or spent primers from rifle and handgun cases ranging from .22 up to .50 caliber, cleanly avoiding the need to run cases through a standard sizing die first.
FUNCTIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Universal Calibre Clearance: Safely processes spent centerfire cases starting at .22 caliber all the way up to heavy .50 caliber actions.
- Decapping Pin Rigidity: Tough, hardened internal pin mechanism pops stubby or crimped military primers out without bending under load.
- No Case Sizing Required: Extracts primers from dirty or unlubricated cases without altering the neck structure, keeping internal cleanliness high.
- Standard 7/8"-14 Threads: Easily fits into any common single-stage, turret, or progressive reloading press layout on your bench.
- Polished Internal Guide: Smooth interior throat prevents case rims from catching or binding during rapid manual cycling operations.
