"H" dies are 1" x 12. Walnut Hill press is 7/8" x 14. You can take the bushing (1 1/2" x 12) out of the WH and have a special bushing made for the H dies.

My current bushing is the standard 7/8X14. Will the swage die fit in the press ram?

Not even close 1" thread vs 7/8" thread. Can't fit a larger thread into a smaller one. You would need a CSP-1 press or the Hydraulic press which the dies were originally designed for.

You are correct. That is for "S" dies.
