Back when Ford was president
I discovered primer crimps were a major pain in all of my tender parts. Everyone told me to use a chamfer tool, so I did.
The pain moved to my fingers. Finally got all my 45, 5.56, 308, '06, done. At least it was a one-time-only deal.
Then I discovered the RCBS Primer Pocket Swage tool - it was slow, but wonderful! Used on my Rockchucker.
Many years passed and I discovered the Dillon Super Swage. Now THERE is the solution! Stand alone, around $100, and will work on large and small pockets. Fast! You learn to flip the mandrel which will toss the finished case off and into a box. <b>It is the best out there for the money.</b> No joke - by the time you buy two or three of the others you have wasted nearly enough money to buy the Dillon.
A few more years passed and I bought a Dillon 1050 with the integral primer pocket swage and the Super Swage went on the shelf as a backup. Now the process is transparent and happens automatically during the loading process. Downside is the cost of a 1050.
Buy The Dillon Super Swage.
