Lee Precision Universal Decapping Die

The Lee Precision Universal Decapping Die (Lee part no. 90292) removes spent primers from boxer-primed brass before you clean or lube your cases, so you are not running dirty carbon residue through your sizing die. The case is never sized in this die, only deprimed, which means the brass does not need to be clean or lubricated first. It accepts boxer-primed cases up to .560 inch in diameter and 3.125 inches long, covering the great majority of pistol and rifle brass a handloader will run across. It is a first-station accessory for reloaders who want to decap and clean brass in the right order rather than sizing over grit and carbon.

Key Specifications

• Any boxer-primed brass means it is not limited to a single caliber, unlike a caliber-specific sizing die.
• Fits cases up to .560 inch in diameter covering the large majority of pistol and rifle cartridges.
• Fits cases up to 3.125 inches long accommodating most rifle brass as well as pistol cases.
• Deprimes without sizing so cases can be decapped while still dirty and unlubed, before cleaning.
• No need to clean or lube brass first since the case is never sized in this die, only deprimed.
• Keeps carbon and grit out of the sizing die by handling decapping as its own first station before cleaning.
• Standard 7/8-14 die thread so it installs in any single-stage or turret press.
