So I normally swage my 5.56 brass with the RCBS Primer Pocket Swager before trimming down to 300 BLK length. But it would make for a more efficient flow if I could swage it AFTER cutting it down.

Has anyone used the RCBS Swager on 300 BLK length brass? I wonder if the lack of a .22 caliber neck and the shortened length affect how the swager rod centers in the casing?
 
I swear they offer a 30 cal pin for that set but can't get to mine right now to confirm. I would guess if that's the case it would be easier to swage with less up and down movement on the press
