    Swage it primer pocket swager

    I'm thinking about getting a Swageit primer pocket swager, but before I shell out $125 bucks I would like some feed back on if it's worth it.
    Any one have one? and is it worth it?.

    Do not know about it but my Dillon is very fast and does a good job. It also costs less.
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

      "Worth it?" That is in the eye of the buyer. No one can tell you what something is worth.
      I used an RCBS primer pocket swager ($33.99 now) and a Lee Reloading Press ($37.99 now) with perfect contentment. I still use the Lee Reloading Press for Bulge Busting, depriming, and very occasional loading.
      Any primer pocket swaging is done automatically with my 1050s.

        I have one for my 550... and I hate it.

        I switched over to a dedicated Dillon super-swager... works infinitely better.
        Save your money, not worth it at all in my experience.

            Swage

            Swage it. I run it on my dillion 650 and haven't had any issues. . A lot faster than doing it by hand .

              I dont know first hand but I have heard/read that Dillon will not honor their "NO
              BS" warranty when you install it

                I think that falls under BS.

                  It mounts on the Dillon 650, that way I can resize, swage the primer and trim the brass all at at once.

                    Neither company will warranty it if it breaks a part on your press when the Swage It is installed. That said shell plates are consumables.

                      Bigedski--Thanks for the info. I have a 650 but the Dillon Super Swagger does such a fast and good job I think I will just continue to use it. Also I do not load rifle rounds on my 650. I prefer to use one of the 3 single stage presses.

                        OP, I am in the same boat. Trying to decide which route to take for processing 223. Original idea was to run the cases through the 650 with the sewage it an rt1500 brass trimmer.

                          I've used the Dillon super swagger and did not care for it. I did a batch of 3000 .308 LC Brass and have found numerous primers that had fallen out of the pocket, that was several years ago and have been using a small counter sink with a Dewalt drill since then.
                          I've picked up 2 5gal buckets of .308 brass from a friend of mine from AZ and will be processing it soon and I am not looking forward to removing the crimp.

                            ^^^^I think it was the brass that was the problem. I have done many times more that the 3000 you did and have not had trouble. I have even done LC brass. I have done 223/308/30-06 with mine for myself and for friends. I usually let them do the work.
