I've been looking for ways to make the process of primer pocket preparation easier and less time consuming.
Years ago I started using the RCBS 9495 Primer pocket swaging tool on a single stage press. THEN, I discovered Dillon's Super Swage.
Today I came up with an idea using the both of them. The RCBS tool comes with both a large and small swager that fits on the shaft of the single stage press. First I use the RCBS tool to check the primer pockets to see if they even need swaging. I found that about two thirds of the brass I was about to swage with the Dillon swager didn't need swaging.
Second, It's always been a lot of trial and error to get the Dillon Swager adjusted just right. I now use the RCBS tool as a gauge to make sure I have the Dillon swager rod adjusted right. I swage a case with the Dillon swager and check it with the RCBS tool. Adjust as needed and you're done.
