I’ve used a drill bit of suitable diameter (2 or 3mm) as an interim de primer before now. I’ve a feeling that’s what’s in the press now.

For £10 more you can get a stand-alone universal decapping die.

The same decapper from Kranks is a lot cheaper.

With shipping?

Had a look at Kranks - could only see the universal decapping pin - for use in the universal decapping die.

The Amazon one above is for the .223 resizing die - part number 90022. Not sure which the OP really needs - but a consideration.

Been there. Done that. Kranks do not have the pin you require in stock. Quicker, easier to buy the LEE Universal Decapping die which Kranks do have in stock.
Lee will not send you a new pin. Tried that.

Lee 0.223 Rem neck sizing mandrel/decapper needed. Lee ref # is NS2620. This is the pin for the Lee neck Sizing/decapping die.

On the lee website that comes up as a .222 decapper: https://leeprecision.com/decp-mndrl-.222-shor.html

The .223 decapper/expander is: https://leeprecision.com/223-ez-x-exp-decapper.html

And that is available on amazon for £7.12 - and next day if you have Prime.

I agree though - get the universal decapper. If you have an old C-press you could leave it on there permenently and just decap everything (almost) regardless of calibre.
