De priming question
I’ve started collecting some reloading stuff the past little bit. I use my buddies tumbler and press so I’m wondering without having to buy a press myself I wanna start de-priming my brass before I bring them over to his place. What tool would you guys recommend?

RCBS universal decapping die with replaceable headed decapping pin I have decapped literally thousands (20+ 5gallon pails) of crimped mil brass with mine.It will do every case that I ever encountered, Even punched thru a berdan primed case by accident, bent the decapping pin but thats all. Wholeheartly recomend. Can get part number if you want, I probably even have a spare one around somewhere in my reloading mess.

Sure I’ll take the part number and have a look for sure!

I use a Lee Universal Decapping die and one of their tong tool hand presses. Decap anywhere and you can load with the press as well.

Decapping die is super fast and easy. Avoid hornady decapper... as the pin gets loose too often. Lee makes a simple and sturdy one that you can't go wrong with.... also has a replaceable sturdy pin.

I seen Cabela’s has a hand one in stock I believe it’s Frankfort Arsenal or something like that. I wondered if those were worth the 70 bucks.

Picked one of these up a the other day for $45 at Cabela's on sale, have not used it but similar intention, wanted to deprime while watching TV as my tumbler is in garage. Will give it a try this weekend and give some feedback.

Yes let know how they work. They aren’t on sale
Anymore but if worth it would be nice to have for that reason as well. Watching hockey or something you could plot through a good chunk I would figure.

How much abuse can those pins take?

Lee decapper die can take plenty abuse. Have easily pushed through crimped primers. Haven't done much recently so I can't speak to durability but looks and feels more solid than some other brands.

For me, the brass cleaning process is more thorough and faster when the brass is already deprimmed. I prefer resizing clean brass too.
