    Just a few days ago I got the Lee for $10 from Midway. Glad I noticed it when putting an order together. Based on limited use I think it will serve my needs, and the price is certainly right, even when not on sale.

    RCBS sells two different sizes. I only have the small one, but it does everything up to 308. Which size do you have?

    It's not a die, but it works great: Harvey Deprimer.

    For a die, the LEE works well and is cheap.

    Yes, all week long and twice on Sunday.

    PS: upgrade the pin to the Squirrel Daddy hardened pin and never worry about breaking a pin even on Berdan…if you keep pulling, it just makes a new hole!

    The Lee is hard to beat. I paid $9.99 for it. I've deprimed thousands of cases with it with only one broken pin. That case had a piece of pea gravel in it. Buy the Lee and a package of Squirrel Daddy pins and don't look back. The Might Armory Die looks and sounds good but I already have the Lee.

    Do your self a favor & get the Universal decapping die & pins from Mighty Armory. I've tried several & this is the best & never broke or replaced a pin.
    Never heard of this outfit, but in looking thru their site and reading up on their stuff, I AM IMPRESSED. and I'm gonna get me one!

    Late to the thread I know, but I have been using the Harvey (hand) deprimer; /very/ impressed, I always hated having to swap dies every time I needed to pop out a misc primer out of the normal reloading sequence. Is also nice to decap when breaking down defective/unknown ammo without getting the dies & press out.

    https://harveydeprimer.com/

    I have used it for doing /a lot/ of USGI M2 brass w/ the crimped in primer; it had more than enough power & stroke to virtually swage out very old military primers that had corroded into the brass case.

    I even met the local designer/builder; he is a detail-oriented design engineer for sure.
