Oddball Loadmaster question/idea

[TheDoctor]

Does anyone make, or would it be possible, to replace the primer seating punch with a primer pocket swagger of some sort? I decap all of my brass before cleaning, an if there was such a critter, I think it would be helpful. Looking to replace my LM, and it's probably going to become a dedicated decapping machine. Not sure if the priming arm would be strong enough to swag primer pockets, even if one had the correct punch.

I don't think the arm and its pin would stand up to swaging the primer pockets form my experience of swaging pockets on my Rockchucker press.

[BoolitSchuuter]

DLCTEX is right.
IMHO, The LM is a good press, but it reaches it's limits of stress doing FL resizing of 5.56 cases. I reload 5.56 and 7.62 on mine, but cases are deprimed and FL resized prior. I use the first stage with a collet die to ensure neck uniformity at the time of reloading.

No way the pin holding the arm is strong enough. I swage pockets with a Dillon (finally)

I don't believe the LM could be modified to do this, however about its strength, it is a strong well built press and can certainly handle more than FL .223/5.56 brass. I use it on all my rifle loads, 30-06, 8x57, 300AAC, 5.56 and 6.8. Not had a problem related to the press's strength at all.
