Hornady Universal Decapping Die 050085 for Multi-Caliber Cases

The Hornady Universal Decapping Die 050085 is designed to remove spent primers from a wide range of metallic cartridge cases before cleaning, inspection, or further case preparation. Its universal multi-caliber design provides a practical solution for reloaders who work with different cartridges and need a dedicated decapping tool separate from conventional sizing dies. Built by Hornady, this decapping die is suited for routine case preparation and helps streamline the reloading process.

Unlike conventional sizing and decapping dies, the Hornady 050085 Universal Decapping Die is intended to handle military cases with swaged primer pockets, which can be especially demanding during decapping operations. Using a dedicated universal die helps reduce the need to repeatedly run cases through a full sizing die when the immediate task is simply removing spent primers. This makes it useful for case sorting, cleaning, primer pocket preparation, and other reloading workflows where efficient primer removal is important.

This single-die set is compatible with multi-caliber reloading applications and is intended for use with Boxer-primed cases. Important: Do not use this die with Berdan-primed cases. As with all reloading equipment, follow established loading practices, verify cartridge compatibility, and use appropriate protective equipment. The Hornady Universal Decapping Die 050085 is a focused case-preparation accessory for reloaders seeking dependable primer removal across a variety of compatible cartridges.
