Dillon Super Swage
Quote from Reloader on July 17, 2009, 7:40 pmI just got the super swage in the mail today. I watched you tube and they showed the super swage in operation. It looked super. So I ordered one. When I opened the box with the super swage the first think I saw was that the cartridge has to be deprimed before the super swage comes into play. Does this mean I really have to deprime the lake city military brass AND THEN USE THE SWAGE??????? I was under the impression from all I saw that the super swage would take out the primer and the rubber rim in one operation. I dont believe it is stated on the Dillon site that the primer has to be removed before the swage is used. At least I didnt see it. On you tube it showed the cartridges being inserted......the super swage engaged and they showed the primer pocket cleaned. Is it true the crimped primer has to be deprimed and then the super swage used to clean our the primer pocket? SAY IT ISNT SOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
