Dang. It is nice and well thought out. Got two. One for 223 prep and one for 308 prep on my 650.



Wish I had gotten them a long time ago.

Simple, cheap, and effective.

Everyone should have one in their die-drawer just in case IMO.

Help me out here, I'm new to reloading. What is the benefit of decaping without re-sizing?

Brass prep on a progressive




On the Dillon 650,  you decap at station 1, and resize & trim at station 3

Couple of reasons:

1) people who wet tumble like to decap prior to tumbling so that the primer pocket gets cleaned and no water gets trapped under the primer.

2) the universal decaper "pin"  is much stronger than must decapping pins, so it can be handy for heavilly crimped military brass.

Don't ask me how I know, but buy spare pins.

Knocks out the primer for wet tumbling before resizing.

I also grind a taper on the face of the rod that holds the pin, so it doesn't hangup on the mouth of the case on .223 cases...

Only if you use a Dillon Trimmer on your rifle caliber Caseprep Toolhead.  Dillon's standard resizing/decapping die is designed to go into Station #1 on Dillon presses.  Many people don't have a Dillon Trimmer and Trim Die for their rifle calibers.



I use Dillon's resizing/decapping die in Station #1 on my 650 and then trim at Station #3 which allows the trim die to shrink back the neck a bit, thus gripping the bullet tighter, which I've found helps reduce the Std Deviations in velocity.  



However, I use Lee's Universal Decapping die in Station #1 of all my Rifle Reloading Toolheads to insure that there isn't anything blocking the flash hole.  Using one I avoid having to look at my tumbled brass to see if any of them have media in the flash hole.
