Could a 650 be modified to swage crimps?

Looking at how the primer punch operates....what would happen if I ordered an extra large primer punch assy, took the priming ram out and cut the same profile on it as the swage button on the 600 super swage? It seems like that would work & do pretty much like the super swage - catch crimps if there, do nothing but not hurt anything on commercial brass.

Or does something like that already exist for the 650 similar to 1050 & I just don't know about it?


Disregard....some googling turned up it voids warranty. I don't want it that bad....

I have super swage. Works well but slow as Christmas with large batch. Seemed like adding in place of primer would be great since all 223 passes there in size before trim operation....but after seeing on Dillon forum it voids warranty I quickly lost interest.

TX10mm link looks like a better idea....their note at end of universal decap, FL size, that, trim die - is exactly where I was going in thought.....do all pre-processing at once. Since I always have a small stream of new 1x brass coming in from guests, some new crimps bound to keep popping up in the mix. 1200-2400 batch sizes so finding [possibly] a few new crimps in all that is a tedious manual inspect operation. Just swage it all would be simple.
 
The rubber band auto eject trick is the ticket. Dillon claims they can tell when one of those devices was installed and voids the warranty.

Or step up to a 1050.
