WaynePatrick Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Here’s another Decapping die only up date. I’m adding a flicker spring with a flat top and bottom to the die. It sits between the shaft top and cap face. I know it works. Primers flick off pin. Not sure about life expectancy. That’s what we need to find out.. let me know if you’re interested in trying.

WaynePatrick Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Before and after pic. Spring life has been well over 50,000 and still going strong. Shorty cap picture. BLUE is the same cut. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stymie12000 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have the blue decapping die. I installed spring but had more failed decapped primers with the spring. I tried it at different preload (cap tighten at different amounts). Failure rate of around 5%. So ended up removing spring and pretty much all problems went away. Now back to maybe 1 in 200 or so cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxman2809 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Very interested in trying. I have the Shorty decapper right now. I have plans to process almost 20k pieces of 9mm this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I put one of the springs in a .40S&W decap/sizing die and I've only done about 2500 so far but have had literally zero primer suck-back problems since adding it. And this with the usual assortment of mixed headstamp range brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaynePatrick Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 The O-ring locks the cap at the desired height. The face of the cap that mate's with the shaft can be adjusted between .020-.040. .020 seems to be where most are setting the cap depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
