If you like spending 30-60 seconds per case, sore thumbs/hands/fingers, and usually inconsistent results when removing crimps from primer pockets, don't get this item. If you like going from 50-75 per hour to 500+ per hour with very consistent results, this is THE tool. There is a small trick to "pop" them off the swage after it's resized the pocket, but you'll pick up on it real quick. This tool will save hours and hours, as well, RCBS's customer service, in my experience, has always been one of the best of all the companies (of any kind) I've ever dealt with. Most RCBS products are in my class of "lifetime" or "hundred year" tools. You only need to buy them once and they will still be working as they did when new, while decades later you've become too old to use them or your children have inherited them. D.W.Read full review

Took the plunge for this with all the military brass showing up at the range in place of commercial. Most reviews for any of these were less than encouraging ( rods breaking, etc.) but I went with this one anyway. I do not regret it at all. The instructions claims to "remove" crimps but I can't attest to that. It does however enlarge them to accept primers just like the commercial brass does. So, however it works, it works. I have never used any other type but I highly recommend this one after using it on maybe a couple hundred cases. Hope this helps your decision.

used my first one over 25 years, and the small shaft started bending. rcbs replaced it after I had bought this one(I was too impatient).the new shafts are said to be harder. great company with good warranty! now I can leave one s et up for small, and another set up for large primers. I used the original to swage thousands of 5.56 military. I think it earned my respect!

This tool does a great job swaging the primer pockets, making it easier to load cases with new primers. The brass does get stuck on the swaging post, and is difficult to remove. A light spray of One Shot or similar lubes will alleviate the problems of brass being hard to remove. Altogether, this is a great deal and should be on every reloaders shelf.

I have been using RCBS loading equipment fir 45 years. Rock chucker bullet swag excellent quality, serviceability, reasonable price. I'm still using dies from 45 years ago. I still use my original bullet press. I bought this die Swagger set because I'm using 223/556 military brass that has to be decapped and the primer hole reformed. Just like all my other RCBS dies works perfectly.
