Lyman Universal Spring Loaded Decapping Die

The Lyman Universal Spring Loaded Decapping Die (Lyman part no. 7701100) handles primer removal before brass ever reaches the cleaner or the sizing die. Lyman equips this die with a spring-loaded decapping rod system that forcefully ejects the primer from the pocket every time, and it works equally well on automated and progressive presses or for prepping brass ahead of cleaning on standard turret and single-station presses.

Key Specifications

• Universal caliber coverage works on all calibers from 22 through 45, except 378 and 460 Weatherby.
• Spring-loaded decapping rod forcefully ejects the primer from the pocket on every stroke.
• Compatible with automated and progressive presses as well as standard turret and single-station presses.
• Pre-cleaning brass prep removes primers before tumbling or wet cleaning, keeping media out of primer pockets.
• Boxer-primed brass only is compatible with this die; it will not remove Berdan primers.
• Single-die configuration is sold as one standalone die, not part of a multi-die set.
• Standard 7/8-14 die thread fits any single-stage, turret, or progressive press built for standard dies.
• Speeds up high-volume brass processing on progressive presses where consistent primer removal is critical.
• Consistent primer pocket cleanout every stroke, versus manual decapping tools that vary shot to shot.
