I have a dillon swager... for my first hundred rounds I deprimed swaged and then resized.

Should I just deprime and resize and not worry about the stress during the swaging?
 
I have always swaged the primer pockets after resizing the case, without problems. The Dillon Super Swage 600 does nothing that will impact a resized case negatively.

I take it you are using seperate deprimer and resizer die.......

I deprime and resize at the same time, then swage the primer pockets. As the other poster said, when you swage the case it does not alter the case, only the primer pocket.
 
I would Size/Deprime then swage. Less operations and handling. Case prep is enough work when doing it as effeciently as possible.
