swager for RCBS press

[Falstaff]

I have a used RCBS press with no dies and I read somewhere that there is a die for it to use it for swaging crimped primer .223/5.56 brass. Anyone seen this? Is there anything else I'd need to buy?

There is a single stage swaging setup but if you are doing anything more than 250 pieces at a time you are going to hate it. If takes a lot of force compared to a dillon super swager. The kit is cheap but the super swager is only $100. Time vs. Money.

I have one it works ok kinda alot of work. I think he super swage is better.

I have the RCBS swaging tool. It does it's job but once the brass is pressed to be swage, it's a btch to remove..

The rcbs tool is fine for moderate quantities, mine works like a charm. For mass processing the Dillon tool is the shizzle.

Either you have a lee press and can't use the collar to pop the cases off, or you're doing something wrong.

*edit* I saw in another thread you said you were using a lee turret. Now I understand why you don't care for it. Have you tried putting a spacer under the case stripper cup to raise it enough to pop 'em off? A large washer or two ought to do it.

I have reamers/cutters as well as the RCBS kit. I do not use any of them anymore since I got the dillon unit.

I use the RCBS swager kit on my breech lock. As others have stated it can be a pain for large quantities but it gets er done for my needs.

If you have a Breech Lock Challenger press, you can't really use the remover/collar/cup because the primer catcher box at the bottom of the press makes it an un-flat surface for the cup to knock off the shell. About the only workable solution is to roll and twist the shell off of the swager.

If you have one of these, you can make a spacer out of a piece of wood to sit on the primer catch box. I was about to do this with a Dremmel router attachment, but simply used another press for swaging.

We use the .50 BMG version of this tool and it works very well with a small amount of lube on the swage ram. We have tried the RCBS equivalent for LR primers and it is marginal. CH4D has great products!
