You, my friend, are impressive. Thank you for creating. You didn’t mention one of the key traits of the FW Arms die and why it is so tall, it has a spring up in the head, that provides some give before things break. Another bit, one of your cases was 357 SIG, and those often as not have small flash holes, and the FW Arms die can take either size pins - replacement pins available in sets.
I agree. I put one on my Lee APP press. It's kind of embarrassing having a die that costs more than the press. I had to put the optional handle on it to clear the die. Of course the handle new handle really is much better but I still bought it just to clear the big honkin die.
I also loved my COAX press for years. Then along came the best press ever developed by the guys at Short Action Customs. The Nexus Press. Sized over 400 pieces of brass to the same exact 1.0695 headspace. Of course using Short Action Customs dies also. If you use inline dies for seating, the Short Action Customs Infinity APS die is by far the best. Makes Wilsons look like toys.
Well, you just persuaded me to order one from FW Arms. BTW, they now have an improved version that they’re shipping to customers. Looks great. Thank you, as always, for your knowledge.
So what was the price of the die? It looks good, but I guess for me I havent noticed any issue with the brass being off center while depriming with the Lee Universal Deprimming die to make me see a need to address it. Maybe certain presses are prone to off centering the brass while depriming? I dont recall encountering that as of yet. I'm mainly using a Lyman American 8 Turret the last few years and the only complaint I have is when depriming, spent primers seem to go everywhere - except the little plastic receptacle where they are supposed to! I broke my first depriming pin about a month ago trying to deprime a few strange headstamped brass and the pin end bent over. I never did get those deprimed and ending up throwing them out. Sometimes range brass ends up costing ya lol
I've used their replacement decapping pins (hardened) for my lee universal decapping die, but I haven't used their specific decapping die. What sets this one above others is the self centering system--love it.
@@brokenarrow2835 I use it to deprime any brass. Maybe if I'm reloading something and a primer gets seated sideways, and I want to hurry and deprime. Or if I find brass that has a dud primer, or I can use it to deprime dirty brass before wet tumbling, or throw it into my progressive press to deprime brass before processing, or depending crimped primer pocket brass, etc...
Nice die, but on a progressive reloader, such as an RL 1100, the decapping die needs to resize also. The next station is the swager, then prime the case.
It is so nice to see a reloading room that looks like a reloading room and not a lady's powder room.
ha ha ha, man, I feel like I'm always working on too many things at the same time
There’s some smart engineers in the reloading industry. Thanks for sharing
thanks, and I totally agree!

Thanks for sharing that info!
Awesome demo! So that decapping pin must be a .062 straight to accommodate all those cartridges. Going to get one now
they do work awesome

Lol it barely clears my Forster coax press handle... But it does.

Sounds awesome
Thank you, I was wondering if it was too that new cartridge that you are doing with the 308,and yes it is European, Norway
glad to answer your question, as of right now, we are waiting for a finishing reamer to be built to chamber a few test barrels for the 35 taco-tini
That’s cool thanks for sharing
no prob, and thanks for tuning in!
Now I feel centered.. thanks, Taco!
lol glad to help you feel centered
Nice explanation. One tidbit that would have been nice to have touched on is the fact that there are two sizes of pins and which you are using.
Looks like a great piece of premium loading equipment! Mike.
truly does work well
That thing has been on my wish list for 2 years now🙄
you should get one!

glad to be of help!

yeah, all depends on your setup and stuff--most people use these in dillons and progressive presses
great video man!!
Thanks
Great video, on a wonderful die. Echo
thanks echo!
Thanks for showing all of use Taco 🌮 🌮🌮
Dang it don’t hate when a friend snaps a pin
yeah, I've had several instances where friends bring stuff back... in not exactly the same condition, oh well
How about military crimps? On say .223. My lee resizing/ decapping die always pushes the pin up and I have to hammer it to get the primer out.
seems to work fine even with the military brass with primers crimped in.
Have you seen the mighty armory decapping die
I've used their replacement decapping pins (hardened) for my lee universal decapping die, but I haven't used their specific decapping die. What sets this one above others is the self centering system--love it.
Will this setup work for military crimped primers without destroying the decapping pin?
it should
Is this used because you have fire formed brass or what.

No it doesn't. Particularly if you are using a trim die with a motorized trimmer.
Cool tool Taco! (try saying that 10 times fast)
😂
👍🍻
😀
That would be great on a progressive press
yes, indeed. Most people use them on the progressive presses instead of a single stage. I just find it super handy in my forster coax
Can you use it in any press?
Yes
