I like using as swage tool. mainly because it doesn't remove any material.

#2 Phillips bit in a cordless or harbor freight $85 drill press

^ A phillips head screw bit in a cordless drill is the cheapest option for reaming. I've done it myself, but now I use a 1/4 inch, 82* countersink bit since they last much longer.

I banged through a bucket of .223 in no time with a Dillon Super swage. 1000 rounds in a couple hours, like 2.

I had used a press mounted swager before that, and it was ok, but get a rythmn going with the Dillon and you will swage tons of brass in the same amount of time.

I've tried many over the years and I like the Hornady crimp cutter. I put the cutter in a 8/32 bit adapter and chuck it in a variable speed drill mounted in a vice on slow speed.

Works great, the cutter has a shank stop on it so you don't go too deep.

I have used all sorts of cutters and swagers. Hands done the best has been the Dillon super swager. I also have a case prep center and if I just have a couple to do I will use it while doing other operations with it.

The best is RCBS Trim Mate crimp remover cutter. It cuts it out in two seconds. It cuts two angles to mimic a swager. I have a Dillon but it tends to raise metal around the primer pocket which causes headspace issues. The Hornady cutter tears up the sides of the primer pocket. It is a pos.

To me this is busy work / training for when nothing for nephews to do .
To me I / we use range brass and crimps are just not worth the work / time .
I use the frankford hand deprimer on pistol cases - 3 ice cream buckets ,
one for cases to be deprimed , one for stacked and one for finished .
I / we sell more than we destake .
Most of the 308 and 223 can be looked at when putting on press , if one get
thru , you can feel it .
BTW , It is easier to feel stacked will reguler handle , harder to feel will the
roller handle .

There's lots of ways. Many listed above. A lot depends on volume you expect to be de-crimping.
