Anyone use this to remove crimped primer pockets ? Just ordered one to use on some PMC brass and have read that it can be a PITA at times. I liked the idea of not removing any material from the primer pocket area.
I've got one and haven't had any issues with it. It's kinda slow, but you only have to do each one once. At least that's what I keep telling myself! 
Might be one of those taskes best done in front of the TV. I should get to find out how it works in a day or so.
I just ordered one. I was told to just use a deburring tool to remove the crimp. Anyone ever tried that?
Yep. I've ruined a lot of primer pockets with one of those. The best way is a swaging tool.
The nicest thing about the RCBS swager is that it is not adjustable.
I love my Dillon swager, but it took a little time and trial and error to get it set where you want it. The bad thing about the Dillon is that if you want to switch from small to large or vice versa, you lose your settings when you change the rod and swager and have to start all over again. The other alternative is to have two of them.

I had one, and only did maybe 25 or so rounds. Myself I just didn't like it, you had to fit the case up into the die and then raise the press holding the shell until the ram is up high enough and then make sure you don't go too fast and catch your finger. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it that day but just did not care for it at all. I have a Super Swager and that thing is nice, you throw the case on the rod and work it and the remove and replace with another case. Very fast and alot easier than the RCBS version. For any of the established members I can make the offer again, that you can borrow the Super Swager I have for a week or so, live on the southside of OKC/Moore area.
I've got one. Ditto what everyone else said. I would add that I've used it on quite a bit of PMC brass and it works well and costs a lot less than the Dillon.
yup done that twice!! let me tell you...it hurts!
