dillon swagger

[country_boy]

I realize my question is a two parter and might need to be moved but.

I have a huge box of mixed 9mm brass and some of it is military crimp. Does anyone have a dillon swagger I could borrow or a used one they'd sell me? I cant afford a new 100 dollar toy till I can get my diesel fixed and even that will be hard.

i was right up there with ya. i have tons of .223 that has crimp in it. i looked at the dillon as well but heck, for a hundred bucks i just bought 1000 cases with out the crimp for 50 bucks shipped. rcbs makes a swage die but to be honest, its a pita to work with after a while. also, there are guys out there who will fully prep your brass for about 20-30 bucks per thousand. but then youll spend another 20+ on shipping both ways, which brings you back to just buying some without the crimp.

For small lots a cutter works pretty well. They are cheap and handy to have also. They will wear out after a while though. Chuck the cutter in a drill at low speed and hold the case with pliers. Works like a champ.

You are more than welcome to come use my swager before the buyer comes.

FYI, RCBS is going to release their version of the Dillon Swager for 2012... and it's about $25 cheaper.

Now 25 I can afford. Hmm

$25 cheaper than the Dillon. You still can't afford one. Hehehe

The cutters can be found for less than $5 and will do what you need.

RCBS has a primer pocket swager combo, that does both large and small primer pockets on GI brass.

Easy to set up, easy to use on a single stage press.

Any re-loader without a single stage press is just missing out on the joy of "batch processing."

Be well.
