When you want to knock primers out before they ever touch your sizing dies, the L.E. Wilson Decapping Punch is one of the cleanest ways to do it. This is the .250 diameter punch sized for .25 caliber, .270, 6.5mm, and 7mm cartridge cases, and it's the same quality L.E. Wilson has been turning out of their shop for decades. Used with a matching decapping base and a light hammer or mallet, it drives the spent primer straight out with a stable foundation underneath the case head.
Plenty of reloaders like to deprime as a separate step so primer residue and that fine black grit never make it near the press ram or their good dies. Tap the primer out over a base, sweep the spent cups into a pile, and your cases are ready for tumbling or wet cleaning with clean primer pockets. A lot of folks also mention that doing it by hand gives you a real feel for loosening primer pockets, which is handy for tracking brass life on precision loads.
This punch shines on military crimped primers that can fight you in a standard die, and it works just as well for everyday depriming on bottleneck brass in its caliber range. Keep in mind the punch is caliber specific and sized for the .250 diameter family, so matching it to your cartridge keeps the pin centered in the flash hole and the primer coming out straight.
This listing is for the punch only. To actually deprime, you'll want a Wilson decapping base matched to your case head diameter, plus a hammer or mallet, or an arbor press if you've got one. Once you've got the pair set up, it's a quick, satisfying operation that keeps the mess contained. Made in the U.S.A., it's a simple, well-built tool that'll outlast a drawer full of bent decapping pins.
No, this listing is for the punch only. You'll need a matching L.E. Wilson decapping base sized to your case head diameter to actually deprime. The base supports the case head while the punch drives the primer out.
It's made for the .25 caliber, .270, 6.5mm, and 7mm cartridge family. Wilson punches are caliber specific, so matching the right one keeps the pin centered in the flash hole for clean, straight primer removal.
Set your case on the decapping base, line the punch up on the primer, and give it a tap with a light hammer or mallet to drive the spent primer out. Some reloaders also run them under an arbor press. It keeps all that primer grit away from your press and sizing dies.
Yes, this is a popular tool for exactly that. It handles stubborn military crimped primers well and is great for depriming brass as a separate step before cleaning or tumbling. Just remember you'll still want to swage or ream the crimp from the primer pocket before reseating a new primer.
