    Super Swage question

    How far does the little crimp remover have to go into the primer pocket in order for it to be effective? The instructions weren't too clear to me
    Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
    Let my aim be true and my hand faster
    than those who would seek to destroy me.
    Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
    Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
    And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

    Trial and error method is used. Brass will vary in hardness and thickness so it will basically be trial and error to determine what works. Mixed brass can be challenging. I would actually try priming a few of the swaged cases to varify your setting. On some of my cases I noticed the flash hole burr was getting flattened and somewhat blocking the flash hole so I ended up using a flash hole deburring tool to remove that before swaging. I would visually check that as well to see if that's an issue

      I found the directions to a little unclear as well. What I got out of them is, play with it and keep adjusting it until you like the results.

        Yea. It seems like it doesn't need too much. Mine came via Fed Ex driving a Budget rental truck today. I think Dillon put the wrong sticker on the side of my Super Swage, it says " PICKUP TUBE (SMALL) SUB 20059"
