Dillon super swager. I turn on my lead pot and decrimp 5.56 brass while I wait for the pot to come up to temp. By the time the pot is ready to go, I am tired of swaging brass.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who suggested a Countersink bit... $3.50, 50 pcs of .308 Brass completed in 3 minutes. (Or the same amount of time it takes the wife to put shoes on the twins)
This is after using my Lyman handtool.. that was causing me fits by not removing the crimp enough trying to seat primers :(. After "countersinking" my brass.. primers fit perfect and no more issues seating.
Again.. I can't express how awesome the countersink bit is after having the frustration with the lyman handtool. The added bonus of living out in the sticks and the local hardware store had the bit.
I had a Dillon swager several years ago, but never used it. So, when we moved I sold it. When I started making 300BLK brass, I used the RCBS press mounted tool and it worked fine, but slow. So I upgraded to the RCBS bench top swager and have been quite happy. Now, I'm upgrading again and will use my CTS trimmer's secondary drive to ream the primer pockets as I trim the case to final length.

Here's another mod idea. FB
Dillon super swager , thanks now I have to go do all my 223 since I am thinking about it
.155 drill bit in a cordless drill
been using the same bit since the 70's (but many different drills)
fast and does a perfect job
just a touch is all it takes
I bought the Dillon back when I was shooting a lot of CMP matches and they sold GI ammo if you wanted it.
I've used it on GI .30-06 and .7.62x51. The swager is fast and powerful. If you don't pay attention and push the handle before the case is lined up, it will happily swage you another pocket wherever it lands.

Another happy Dillon 600 user. I wore out an RCBS crimp remover (rotary blade) not mention the time and sore thumb and fingers after several thousand cases.
a countersink is the bomb diggidy on military crimps!
