How is it supposed to work?
I buy this thing at sportsmans warehouse and take it home and unwrap it It says 22 caliber decapper and base on the package so I go to try it and it wont fit in a 223 infact the decapper is larger in diameter than a 223 case! See pics below and try to figure out how it works. I cant

Worthless
We'll Maybe not worthless, unless you're trying to decap actual militaty, or rifle cases, in this caliber. It will however apparently work on centerfire pistol cases. You're better off purchasing the Frankford Arsenal Hand Decapper and replacing the pin with a Lee brand replacement to get around the stick case issue many seem to have with the FA.
