.223 dies

From what I have read the universal die is better for de-priming military cases.

I use the decapping die on military cases with crimped primers.

I decap, clean, swag the primer pocket, then lube, resize, clean again to remove the lube, trim if necessary, then load.

Uh*** no mention of Redding or Dillon? Redding for me but I also use Scharch processed brass that is already primed. Just run it thru the sizer without decap pin for any neck dents. Throw powder, seat bullet and crimp.

At some point during the 150,000 or so that I have loaded and shot, I settled on Redding dies.

Edited to add that the Lee Universal Decapper is best for depriming mc cases.
