L.E. Wilson has been building precision reloading gear for decades, and this little decapping punch is a great example of their no-nonsense approach. It's a dedicated tool for knocking primers out of .22 caliber brass in a separate operation, away from your sizing die and press. The punch measures .218 in diameter and is sized specifically for the .22 family of cartridges, so it seats properly against the case head and does its job without fuss.
Plenty of reloaders like to deprime before they size, especially if they want to tumble or wet clean cases with the primer pockets exposed. That's exactly where this punch shines. It's also a solid pick for dealing with stubborn crimped-in military primers, which can be a headache in other setups. Because it's a hand tool rather than a press-mounted part, you've got direct feel and control over each case.
Worth knowing up front: this is the punch only. It's designed to work together with an L.E. Wilson decapping base, which seats the case and gives the primer somewhere to drop free. The base is sold separately, so if you're starting fresh you'll want to grab one alongside this punch. Once you've got the pair, the setup is simple and repeatable.
The punch is made from stainless and machined in the USA, which is the kind of build quality you'd expect from the L.E. Wilson name. It's the sort of tool that gets tossed in the reloading drawer and keeps working year after year. For anyone running a precision .22 centerfire program who prefers a separate deprime step, this is a clean, dependable way to get it done.
No, this listing is for the punch only. It's designed to work with an L.E. Wilson decapping base, which seats the case and lets the primer drop free. You'll need to pick up the matching base separately to use it.
This punch is sized for the .22 caliber family at a .218 diameter, so it covers common .22 centerfire cases. Wilson makes these punches caliber specific, which keeps the fit tight and the depriming clean. If you reload other bores, there are matching punches for those calibers as well.
No, this is a hand tool and is not meant for use in a reloading press. It's made for depriming at the bench as a separate operation from sizing. Many reloaders prefer this approach so they can clean cases with the primer pockets exposed.
Yes, these punches are known for knocking out tough crimped-in military primers that can give other tools trouble. The stainless build and precise fit help it push through consistently. Pairing it with the Wilson base makes the job quick and clean.
