Decapping tools

It took a time or two using it but after I got the hang of it I can decap without even looking at brass or tool...
It has a place in my TB but as I said it’s clumsy and slow compared to sizing and de capping in one step
 
th

Neil Jones makes this one. I have been using it for years at the range and home for the 6ppc.

Regards
Rick
 
IF I need to deprime in a separate operation, I just take the bushing out of my redding neck sizing die & run them through!;)
 
Mighty armory has worked great for rifle, but I've broken 3 pins in a few months with 9mm. The first was a sideways case sorta user error because I didn't stop when it felt wrong. I bent it back to get it out of the case. Second pin snapped in half on a 9mm, no pic. Recent one last week was the thinner Lapua sized pin on 9mm (because my 2 thicker pins were broken) and it bent 90 degrees on a slightly off center flash hole as seen in this pic. Disappointing performance, don't seem to be anything special. Maybe I got a bad batch? I just received replacements...

Another vote for the Harvey decapping tool here. It's an outstanding piece of kit, and you can request the smaller pin. Harvey sent me one free of charge after I started using SRP Lapua .308 Win brass with the smaller flash hole. Since then, I use the smaller diameter pin for everything and it works just fine.

This doesn’t seem normal, do you think the shell holder hole wasn’t clearing the primer?

No, the pic shows where the pin struck the bottom of the case, scooted towards the case wall gouging the brass and bendingvthe pin 90 degrees. The flash hole is sliiiightly off center. Maybe the pin was also slightly bent prior to this case and this case was off just enough for the pin to not find the hole?
