    had to chuckle. I was out going through reloading dies in the shop today and what do you think I found. A brand new C&H swagger I didn't even remember buying. Sad part is now I have to buy some unprocessed 223 brass to see how it works. All that I have is loaded or at least already swaged.

    I have a Dillon 650, Very good machine But Overkill and expensive. I regret Buying it. Went back to my old Herters Press die. Cheap , easy with No complication.

    I use a 600 or a 1050 but a buddy has one of these. He really likes it. Cheap and can't damage the rim

    Unpacked the Dillon SS600 just now. Installed the optional 9mm/38spl locator rod only to learn that it is too short for 357 mag brass (bells the case mouth). So installing the 30cal rod and will just have to go slowly to get the primer rod into the pocket. Bummer.

    Never tried mine on 357 Brass simply because the only crimped 357 brass I have seen was a half dozen CBC brass. Other than CBC who crimps the primer pockets on 357 brass?

    CBC and at least some GECO. I may just scrap it.

    I like the RCBS Primer Pocket Swager, in a single stage press. Lube the primer pocket with Lee case sizing lube (Wax/water based lube) easy to wipe clean, water wash if desired, will not be a problem when dry. Makes it easier to remove cases from the "punch". Adjust the press/die to "just remove the crimp". No need to "over do" the process.
    Getting old is the best you can hope for.

    I own it, and like the concept, but have never used it because it won't fit on my Forster Co-Ax press and that's the only single stage I have.
