TBF Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 What are the pros and cons of the stuff thats available ? I am sick of reaming, and sometimes I run into a batch of brass with off center crimps that do not respond as well as I'd like. Does swaging ALWAYS give a nice entry into the pocket ? I am sure the Dillon is good. RCBS is cheaper, is it as fast/good ? Anything better ? Thanks in advance. Travis F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Buy the big Dillon, it has a separate swaging station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsaxdog Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 i gotta rcbs one. it works great. you have to have a single stage press though. with a discount at midway, it was pretty cheap..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I have the RCBS and find that military brass still needs a pass with a reamer to get the pocket clean. I tried reaming alone, but found that a pass with the RCBS reduces the reaming needed by a whole lot so I use both. -- Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g56 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I have the RCBS primer pocket swager, it works fairly well on small primers, poorly on the large primers. I have a substantial quantity of 45acp military brass and the RCBS doesn't work well on the large primers in the 45, it's a pain. I also have a large quantity of 9mm military brass and have had good results with the small primer pockets. I guess I am going to have to break down and buy the Dillon, from everything I have read it works extremely well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
