cheep press for decaping

[jb]

i'm very tired of taking my rockchucker apart to clean primer junk from the ram ever time. what cheep o frame press has a good spent primer management?

Lee makes a base and punch set for .308 size case heads.

Forster Press and the junk goes down a tube to a collection

container, but not cheap! LOL

Regards,

I bought a cheap Lee several years ago on ebay for that very purpose. Clamped it on my reloading table. The spent primer drops into a recess in the body. When it fills up, I remove clamps, turn it upside down over the trash can, and spent primers are gone. No residue on my Rockchucker. BTW, do not try reloading with this cheap Lee. It wobbles all over the place.

Neil Jones makes my favorite decapping tool. I really prefer decapping separately since it lets me get the brass cleaned up completely. Then I can wait to size just before I reload.

Unless you use a punch and base, Lee has the press you want.

I run a Lee Classic Press for decaping only. I found this plug and use it along with a tube that goes right into an empty plastic milk jug. I have zero complaints and all the mess is contained.

I have a Lee "C" frame press with the cavity in the frame. I mounted it on the end of my bench and drilled a hole through my bench under the cavity and put a piece of vinyl tubing in it to direct primers into a trash can.

A friend of mine that does high volume reloading swears by this depriming tool from frankford arsenal.

I don’t know if it counts as cheap, but a Lee classic cast will do what you want. Great all around press.

Lee #90045
I mounted on a ledge, with a tall Rx bottle lid (with a hole in it), screwed under a hole in the ledge.
Put a Mighty Armory decap die on.
1/8 turn to remove med bottle, and dump spent mess.
It'll handle any case, and keep your real press clean!

I have another Brand New one, I could send you for $35 shipped, if interested ?
It works out great for me.

This press will definitely do the job. When I set my new bench up, it will have one for decapping.

Not an "O-frame" press...but it works very well:

Pope de & recapper. Done many thousands of rounds with one, no need for a press.

Hand held Harvey deprimer.

 

[Richard Coody]

Well i have a harvey deprimer. I like to decap at the range. I clean my brass with a rag dampened with ballistol and decap while others are posting targets or i am waiting for my barrel to cool.

When i have a bunch to do i have a little partner press bolted to a picnic table outside. Use a universal decapper.

I use the frankford arsenal hand held decapper, works pretty good, easy to set up and use. does require grip strength where the press would be easier.
