[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2770556, member: 3099"] Follow the instructions to the letter. Some tips: 1) Tighten the mandrel locknut while the swage tip is in the primer pocket. 2) Adjust the "leveling pads" (flat block) properly with the screw on the side. And yes you may have to sort your brass by headstamp if they vary much, but I tend to use one with the thicker web and adjust it to where it will go and then just go by feel on the swaging handle. I.E. not pushing the swaging handle down all the way on the thicker ones and all the way on the looser ones. It takes a little time to get the feel of the process but you'll get there and get it dialed in. I have mine set up on my wood bench with a nail to anchor a rubber band to. Then I wrap it around the mandrel to where it will throw the case into a plastic bin a couple of feet away. There are youtube videos on this and it really speeds up things and works very well. The Dillon super swage is the best thing going except for the built-in swage on their 1050 press. There just ain't nothing better. I just swage 9mm and .223 as a matter of course without sorting. I can do 1000 in little time with the rubber band mod. [/QUOTE]
