It has worked without fail on some pretty stubborn primers that may have backed out or bent the de-capper on some other dies. The tool is a bull-worker. I have used it on 30-06, 308 and 223

Gary,
The reason for my wanting one is that I always like to clean my primer pockets prior to priming. If I were to decap & prime on my new turret they wouldn't get cleaned . . . unless of course I didn't use it in the “Turret” mode. I just decided to use my LEE Challeger press as dedicated to decapping/LEE sizing dies. Oh . . . thanks for all the good advice & making my latest press purchase.

If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.
