Dillon super swager

[9mmrevolver]

Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to get my brass to take a primer after I swage. Is there a better tool out there? I already have the rcbs swager and have used a counter sink in the past. Was hoping this would be the last military remover I bought.

You probably haven't adjusted the rod properly. I never had a problem with mine.

How do u adjust the rod properly. The way I have it adjusted is the case will just slip past the plate.

The Dillon 600 Super Swager is way better than using a deburring tool to shave that crimp. Also, way better than the CH4D swager.

You need to read the instructions on how to set-up not just for the swaging rod but also the level/cartridge guide so that the swager is hitting that crimp.

Follow the instructions for adjusting the swager .

I much prefer using a cutter designed to remove the crimp but, I also like the CH4D swager too. Both are simple to use with mixed head stamped brass and give quick, easy and consistent results. I own a Super Swager but have virtually given up using it unless I am running a batch of brass that I know has consistent case head thicknesses.

You downloaded them from Dillon's website or call Dillon and ask them to send you a copy.

Thank you. That was the info I needed. I believe the issue was the plate set screw wasn't locked.

This!! I hate swaging brass
I bought my 1050 because it had the built in swager.

Youtube has instructions as well.

I swage mixed brass with mine and have no problems. I do not need to readjust it for each brand.
This is what I do:
I adjust the rod out as far as possible so it will do any brass.
Then I do not have to move the handle to the stop for each piece of brass.
I swage the brass by feel. It is easy to tell how much is enough and to not overdo it.
I have done many, many thousands of pieces of 223/5.56, 7.62X51/308win and 30-06 with mine.

It is very simple to use like that unless you are a idiot and cannot tell when the crimp is removed so you force it all the way. I have had several other people use it and they had no problems also.

I'm on sabbatical leave from any crimp cutting tools since I'm saving the wrist turning for the Giraud Trimmer

CH4D is excellent for staked-type crimp but it is a hit/miss for me when it comes to processing the centered or off-centered crimps. Sorting the brass based on year and make helps a lot but it is still a lot of fiddling or brass turning as you swage just to hit the crimp.

If I'm doing a bunch, I'll just chuck a primer reamer in a drill press. BTW, the Giraud trimmer is awesome.
