Swage Question??
Quote from Reloader on June 8, 2011, 2:29 amDoes the super swage actually remove the crimp or does it just widen the primer pocket? I thought I had adjusted my new one correctly but it seems to just be expanding the pocket as opposed to removing crimp. I tested it by pressing in a spent primer and it fit in fine but not sure if crimp has to go or not. The youtube vids aren't clear in showing. Thanks.

Quote from Reloader on June 8, 2011, 5:37 amI should correct this comment/description. I am perceiving the visible ring inside the pocket as the crimp. It is only in my mil brass not commercial stuff. I swaged, which seemed to widen and smooth the edges, primed the case, primer went in just fine. Just making sure that the ring thats inside the pocket doesn't need to come out??
