Lee Decapper Heavy Duty 22 Cal Guided

The Lee Precision Heavy Duty 22 Caliber Guided Decapper (Model 91576) is a precision reloading tool engineered to safely remove spent primers from fired cartridges in the .22 caliber family. Designed for case mouth diameters of .220" and larger—covering calibers from .22 Hornet through .223 WSSM—this decapper uses a guided alignment system to minimize the risk of bending or breaking the decapping pin during primer removal, a critical concern when working with smaller, more delicate cases.

Heavy-duty construction delivers the leverage and durability needed for consistent performance across multiple reloading sessions. The guided decapper works in conjunction with Lee's Universal Decapping Die (product 90292), where the guide alignment reduces sideways stress on the decapping pin by keeping the case centered and square during the decapping stroke. This precision fitment is especially valuable when decapping thin-walled cases or when reloading high volumes of small-bore ammunition, where any misalignment can result in damaged cases or broken tooling.

This tool serves serious handloaders, competitive shooters, and ammunition remanufacturers who process .22 centerfire cartridges and demand reliable, damage-free primer removal. The compact design (4 inches long, 0.13 x 0.13 inches in cross-section) integrates seamlessly into a single-stage press setup alongside standard Lee dies. For those running high-round-count training regimens or maintaining a personal ammunition stockpile, consistent decapping without case loss translates directly to cost savings and workflow efficiency.
