Most of my decapping / depriming is done on the Dillon but there's times I need to pop a primer out. The way I use to do it wasn't really the best and certainly not the way the Lee die was designed to be used. So for my own safety and simplicity I picked up a Harvey Deprimer at a friends suggestion and it's amazing! Whether you need to decap a couple or a couple hundred this things will do the job fast and easy.
Here's where you can find one. harveydeprimer...

I bought one before i got my redding decapping set. I like it for small batches, but go to the press for regular sessions. I agree, it is very well made and the price is reasonable for what you get. Plus the owner is great to talk to as well.

@ironbomb6753 3 года назад

Glad you showed this to us. They are going to sell a few more now. I like not only how easy it works, but also such little motion required to perform the operation.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

Yeah exactly. Super easy on your hands.

@douglasbattjes3991 4 месяца назад

John, got mine the other day and really works easy, very little pressure to pop the primer out, only one issue, it's so hard to find the primer hole on .22-250 cases, seems like I have to fiddle round for a little bit before I get it right. but when I do, bingo,. 👍👍

I'll give it a try decapping cases while I let my rifle cool during load testing. I've been using an old single stage Lee press and their universal decapping dies, but it requires changing shell holders.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

Sounds good. Hope it ends up working well for you.

@eljohn3 3 года назад

I've been using one of these for a few years and love it. The only things I wish they would upgrade in the design are the pinch point between the arm and and the deprimer body (meaty hands) and the strength of area where the case head presses against the deprimer body. After a few years and a few thousand rounds of premium brass and range brass, I've probably pinched myself two-hundred times and the edges of the deprimer have gotten a little chewed up. It's probably a user error thing, but still, a tool this simple should outlast a single user, in my opinion.

@goodboyringo9716 Год назад

While using the lee decap tool you could put a socket on the end of the brass and hit the socket , it would also support the brass. Its not easy paying 70.00 plus shipping for that tool

@oscarbear7498 5 месяцев назад

100% it's way over priced. I bought one and regret it, in fact I have Frankfort decapping tool and its way better and cheaper for dealing with a lot of brass. Stick with Lee decapping, I use it still if I just have 50 casings to decap. I this video is just an ad.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

Yeah for sure. If I did any kind of quantity I would do that for sure.

@planeurable 3 года назад

two advantages of pre-resizing hand depriming are :1 : that you can feel if primer pockets are still grabbing primers strong enough : if it doesnt you may have a die issue and/or cases are nearing their death . 2: when FL resizing , your force on the press lever is only against the case shoulder that you feel you are bumping ( when you stop against the primer with the decapping pin , it pops out and you bang the shoulder without actual control ) . I have been reloading that way in short rrange BR and it served me well .

@planeurable 3 года назад

i use a depriming plier that looks like the Frankford massive tool but smaller and dedicated to small rifle : it was made by Otello Ferrari in Italy . Currently the best one available on the market is made by Alberto Lenzi , available via Bruno Shooters or'Bullet Central in the US .

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

@@planeurable the Lenzi is a nice tool too but I didn’t lie having to swap pins when using different calibers and it’s more than 3x as much as the Harvey. Both great tools but this one fit my needs better there all. Thank you however for pointing it out for others to look at.

@rotasaustralis 3 года назад

John, I've had a Lee deprimer for years & never used it like that. I just screw it into my press & away I go. First time ever I've had problems was with my son-in-laws 223 Rem cartridges made by ADI, (an Australian manufacturer for the Defence Force) whereby the flash hole was too small & jammed the depriming pin. Still though, I want to load in the field so, thanks for the heads up. Seems to work as good as it looks. As always, great vid & thankyou.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

Yeah for one off or batch decapping off a press this thing is the best I’ve found so far.

@michaelbartow1546 3 года назад

seeing how reasonable the item costs I think I'll be getting one. I have a ton of brass over the years I have shot and might be time to buy one to start getting back into reloading. Used to shot competitive along time ago.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

@johnkennedy6331 3 года назад

Hi John, Enjoy your videos... The other available rod might be for Lapua 6BR brass, which has a smaller .059" flashhole, requiring a smaller deprimer pin.

I'm gonna start this question like an episode of Will It Blend. Will it deprime small primer pocket Lapua brass. I have heard the flash holes are smaller and I can't tell what primers you are depriming.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

I don’t have any to test however he clearly states on his site ‘DECAPS LAPUA BRASS’ and yes he uses all caps. 😉 so I’m hoping that means the small pockets as well but you could email or call to verify.

@Russell-1 3 года назад

James - One of the options from Harvey is a small diameter decapping rod/pin which is for the Lapua cases you mention plus PPC.

@dagamore 3 года назад

I think that is why they come with two pins, because Lapua has really small flash holes. I know I have a dedicated universal de-primer die that i use for the Lapua brass I have because of the small holes.

@backnine 3 года назад

Hi John Nice tool. I have been using the lee on a small lee press I just use for that and swaging crimped cases. I like to decap and tumble my brass before resizing/trimming. I have had problems in the past with dirt building up on the shoulder of the die and throwing my head space off. Never have that problem with clean brass. Drives my Son nuts. He calls me Martha Stewart. I have a question. What is a good scope for 600-1000 yard scope on a Remington 700 300 Win Mag. Just for target shooting. I don't Hunt. I do all my Hunting at Safeway. I was looking at the Burris Xtreme Tactical XTR II 5-25x50mm. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Great videos. I have learned a lot from you and you are the only one that replies to questions. All the other guy's are to Big to bother with small Guy's. I have had a RU-vid channel for a long time primary Carburetor Restoration. I do have some gun stuff. But I make it a point to answer everyone. I probably get 20-30 questions a day. Thanks for your videos. Harold

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

My please and glad you like the videos. For me the Vortex Golden Eagle is probably the best scope out there for the money. It’s repeatable and has a great reticle and you can’t beat the price.

Can you put one of the Harvey spare pins into a Lee universal decapping die? Ie take the small primer pin and put into a Lee for decapping Lapua small primer brass?

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

I believe it's the same pin based on comments that people left for this video so yeah, good idea.

@br4713 3 года назад

Cool stuff, but the case is not aligned with the decapping pin. I use a Wilson neck die with a wood hammer, it is fast and makes no damage to the case since everything is centered. The best method I think would be to use a small dedicated press (like rcbs partner) with a cheap full length sizing die set to not size the case but just to center it while decapping, and the decapping rod set do remove the primer wihout hitting the bottom of the case.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

The case doesn’t have to align perfectly to work well. It just needs to be in the flash hole and the tool does the rest without any damage. I don’t want a second press just for things like this and there plenty of times when in loading on my Dillon and need to pop a primer out and it’s not practical to swap tools heads just to decap a piece of brass. That’s why I use it. Thank you however for the suggestions. There’s always more than one way to accomplish a goal in reloading.

@blazerbarrel2 3 года назад

To decap , then clean your brass before you subject your re sizing die to grit that will wear out the die .

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

Yes a lot of people will tumble their brass but there's a decent amount of precision shooters who just wipe their brass off and reload so in those cases having as much grit come out when decapping is the best for them.

@robertmajors1737 3 года назад

John have you actually used this for the small Lapua flash holes? I've got a Wilson bushing resizing die that works, but I prefer to decap in a separate step to keep debris away from my press. This thing seems to be just what I need, for around the same price as a quality decapping die.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

I have not because I don't shoot anything with the Lapua small flash hole. He states that his standard .06" recapping pin works on small flash hold Lapua brass and given the quality of the unit I don't see why he'd say that if it didn't do it.
