I just bought this swager and I'm kinda lost on how to use it. I swaged a bunch of military crimped brass and now I'm getting high primers on about 20% of the cases. They just flat out cannot be pushed into the pocket with a 550B progressive.
I took some of the brass that I had run through the Dillon swager and cut the remaining lip from the primer pocket with a 45 degree cutter from Depo that was mounted in a drill press. After that step, I am no longer getting high primers but the "push" into the pocket is not that easy on about 50% of the cases.
I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct Dillon case bar in the swager since I can feel the crimp being pushed into the pocket. Primers are Federal SR.
Is this just normal case prep for military brass or am I missing something? I assumed I could just swage the cases and reload.
