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.

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

For a die, the LEE works well and is cheap.
Will the LEE universal decapping die work on 30-06 cases?

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
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.
The Lee universal decapping die is what I use. Good tool.
Lee Universal die in the Lee APP press as a stand alone depriming precess.

Think you can, or think you can't. Either way your right.
Lee is hard to beat, it is cheap an lasts forever.
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.

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.
