which de-capping die?

[eschafer]

Brownell's explanation is a bit vague to me as to which decapping dies will do magnum calibers too. Need one de-capping die for all of .270, .308, 30-06, 7mm-08 and .338 win mag.... Will the RCBS Universal do all mentioned calibers? If not, can one be recommended please... Thanks

The Lee will do them all and works very well.

Lee will do most................not all......................

Unless they came out with a newer die than whut I own.

Just checked the Lee site, says it will do up to 3.125", that's pretty long.

Diameter is where they lose out.
I think it was the 338 Lapua Mag brass that my die wouldn't ingest.

I have a Redding , I like it a great deal, very good quality , but you will need the two die kit to do everything.

However this kit will keep you covered for future expansions in chamberings.

Lee decapper for sure. If you do a lot of depriming then get a spare pin as well.

I went with the Redding decapping die set.

I have decapped many thousands with the lee and I have not broke a rod yet, I have a spare on hand just to make sure.

I have the Lee, it works for me on everything from .223 Rem to the .45/70.

That's why you haven't broken the pin yet: you have a spare! ;-)}>

OP: it's just a matter of time before you try to deprime a Berdan primed case.....

Nuttin beats a Pope re & decapper.

^^^^ Exactly it's not if you will bend or break one it's when..

I own very few Lee tools, but I have their decapper. It works very well. D.

Lee decapping with spare pin (still on original after many thousands) for below 338LM which is too fat for the LEE.
For 338LM either sand down the LEE (r u kidding, lots of work) or get the Redding big decapper (Cheap/~similar to LEE at Brownell)

 

[Magellann]

I use the Lee decapper as well, it works great so far.

+1 and one of the few items that is still relatively inexpensive..
