sauza45 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just got my Super 1050 and Iam loading 40 and 38SC do you need to use the swager with the pistol rounds, or do you just remove the swager and turn the rod down? I dont have any mil. brass or crimped primer pockets, so I dont think I need the swager but I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powder Finger Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Either adjust it so it won't touch the case or remove completly and store it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 .40 NT brass is crimped. You will want the swager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtr Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just setup my 1050 today. While you can remove the swager, why not leave it in? Doesn't hurt and might help if a crimped case gets in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmclaine Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) I have been using the S1050 with swage as it came set up from Dillon for .45ACP. My cases are uncrimped WWB so the swage performs no real function regards swaging. My primers have shown no indications that the swager oversizes the pocket. What I do like is that the backer rod expands the case slightly and irons out the case mouth damage caused from the tight ejection port on my 1970's Colt's Combat Commander. I am loading with 230 grn FMJ/RN. After the case leaves the swager the case mouth is at a diameter that I think would allow me to seat the round without fear of damage to the jacket. I barely need to bell at the powder drop to seat my rounds. Edited June 14, 2011 by pmclaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powder Finger Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Not sure about .40 but as the for .38 (S,SC,TJ,ETC...) the great, soft spoken, wiser than normal Arnt Myer put it.... "I don't want nothin touchin my primer pockets" YMMV Edited June 14, 2011 by Powder Finger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
