I forget how I found out about this place, but I was inspired to order one of their spring loaded decapping dies after having no end of issues with the dies of various calibers I already own. Every time I did the sizing/decapping, I was having problems with primers not dropping as expected in to the Inline Fabrication chute, or getting hung up, or whatever.
SO, I decided to order one of these specialized decapping dies. I could tell right away that the pin itself was already going to be WAY tougher than anything else I own. The machining is excellent. The thing that makes this one unique is that the decapping pin is spring loaded. The spring resides right under the silver top cap. It's a very hard spring.
The pin itself rests in a position much further down than a standard decapping pin. The die itself will decap everything with a neck opening larger than .223, pistol and rifle included. Here you see I'm decapping some .223.
My Inline fabrication upgrades to my Rockchucker are awesome, but the #1 issue I kept having were spent primers getting hung up right here at the mouth opening of the spent primer chute. The primers would stop here and I'd have to keep pushing them through with my finger, and sometimes with a brush to push them down the chute.
With the Mighty Armory Decapping Die, every spent primer popped with gusto, and the vast majority of them went tumbling down the chute without pause. A few popped forward out of the ram, but this is a design issue with the Rockchucker rather than the die.
While I know that this adds an additional step in the reloading process, to me it's totally worth it! The decapping process went so fast, I was able to decap about 200 shells in 15 minutes! Seriously considering some of their other equipment after the success of this baby!
