The L.E. Wilson 50 Caliber Decapping Pin and Base Set (.500) (part no. PBS-50CL) pairs a decapping pin with its matching base to service large .500-diameter flash holes on 50 caliber brass, an application standard-size punches aren’t built for. Made by L.E. Wilson, it drops into the Wilson case-length die system as a replacement set rather than a standalone die, pushing spent primers free without deforming the oversized pocket. It’s a straightforward way for big-bore handloaders to keep their case prep tooling matched to 50 caliber brass.

Key Specifications

• Sized for .500 inch flash holes on 50 caliber brass.
• Pairs a decapping pin and base matched as a set for correct alignment.
• Functions as a replacement set for the L.E. Wilson case-length die system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 50 caliber brass need a different decapping pin? Its flash hole and primer pocket are larger than standard rifle brass, so a standard-diameter pin and base won’t center or clear the primer correctly.

Does this include a full sizing die? No, it’s a matched pin and base set that installs into an existing L.E. Wilson case-length die body rather than a complete die.
