Neil Jones hand depriming tool

[OuttaAmmo]

Anybody used one and your thoughts?

A cheapo Lee press & their universal depriming die & forget the fancy stuff.

Wouldn't that end up costing similar? Basically just looking for a way to deprime away from loading bench. Just seeing what everyone uses.

If you are only working with one cartridge the de-capping punch out of a Lee Loader does the job quite well.

Been using the Neil Jones decapper since '95. Its great to keep all of the primer residue crap away from your press.

G'Day All,
Dazza put me onto one back in '96, use it all the time for many cartridges, so make that +2 Probably deprimed 20-30,000 6ppc, 223, 6x47lapuas with it in that time.
Especially if you reload heaps as we do in BR (1,500 to 3000 per season in comps and practice) the risk to your dies and press ram is significant.

The Neil Jones de-primers are great, and
like all who use them like how your de-capped brass
keeps all the carbon crap out of your presses ram, dies etc.
With one unit and a few different bases and de-capping pins
you can probably cover any common case you are every likely
to use.

cheers,
Chris
