I just ordered this decapping die, I have an issue with the shell plate allowing the brass to tilt and with the universal decapping dies, the pin/rod winds up outside the case mouth and puts a dent in the shoulder.
This is mostly 5.56 milbrass on a Dillon Super 1050 I use for processing.

This die has a spring loaded funnel that centers the case mouth before the decapping pin enters the case, which will remove 100% of the issue I have with universal & sizing die decapping.

Anyone have one of these or seen one used?

Short, small mouth cases is where I have issues, the 1050 stroke is LONG and it doesn't matter which manufacturer shell plate I use, 5.56/.223 & .204 are problems.

I rigged up a long bristle brush as a guide, which helps, but it's still not 100% and the press jams.
For $50 I'll give it a try and get the cobbled together stuff off the press...
