Swage tool
Quote from Reloader on November 5, 2017, 3:20 amAnyone have any experience with the Dillon Swage tool? I continue to have issues with primers not seating well in 9mm brass and had a guy who reloads allot recommend it not just for crimped primer pockets. Said it will make about any brass perfect.

Quote from Reloader on November 15, 2017, 2:16 pmI have the swage tool and I have to swage 9mm, 45 acp, and .223/5.56 due to crimps that are being installed. .308 and other military calibers will probably also have this issue. I check all primer pockets with a primer pocket gauge and any that are too small, I swage. It adds time, but I also deprime, resize, wet tumble, check primer pocket, swage as needed, then mass reload. This keeps me the flow smooth and without hang ups. I could minimize this by getting a 1050, but then again my ammo use and pocketbook don't justify upgrading from my 550B.

Quote from Reloader on February 4, 2018, 6:39 pmI have been picking up range b Rd ass from a local police shooting range. They use military ammo with crimped primers. The head stamps are NT. I bought a swage tool from Dillon and it works great to remove the crimp and allow primers to seat easily every time. It works well for .45, .40S&W and 9mm brass.
I recommend it

My plans are to continue using the SuperSwage 600 and trim offline.
Currently have a 550C & 750.
My dream setup would be to add an 1100 for .223 & 9mm.
Then I'd only be using the SuperSwage 600 for occasional .308win cases that may benefit from it.
