This could easily be a gun forum disguised as a 370Z forum. :)
I am having trouble with the RCBS primer pocket swager dies in a new lee press. (.223)
The center rod is sticking in the case and hard to get off. Sometimes the top of the case is smashed, And I have made several adjustments. I am thinking about getting the RCBS bench top swager tool instead, or maybe the dillon. Any thoughts?

as far as cleaning brass, I have a Franklin Tumbler with walnut shells. I wash in a two- liter bottle and dry the shells on a tray atop the boiler pipes. I am researching some ultrasonic cleaners too, because they work well to clean small carburetors.

I had to fiddle with my swagger dies for awhile to get them adjusted right.

I have both the Lyman 1200 Vibrator and the 7L Hornady UltraSonic cleaners. With the Lyman, I found out that the red walnut worked best. Like any other vibrator. I have to clean out the primer pocket and flash hole with a small pick. With the UltraSonic, I don't have to. The primer pocket is clean, so is the inside of the case. I haven't used the Lyman since I got the UltraSonic. If that tells you anything. :D

Did your swager come with two rods? It sounds like you might be using the larger one, which would explain the case sticking. As I recall, setting up this die is a royal pain in the ***, there's no good way to measure anything. Best suggestion would be to put the shell holder in the press, run the swager down to where there is about 1/8" gap between the die housing and the shell holder (two nickels stacked is pretty close). Put an unprimed case in, bring the ram all the way up, then adjust the center rod until it touches the webbing inside. (It's tough to feel). From that point, it's adjust the rod until a primer will seat with normal pressure. What makes this such a pain is that you have to do this each time you use it. I'm pondering the bench mount swager at this point.

Oh, and don't forget to put the metal cup with the hole on before you start swaging... :icon14:

I have the RCBS swager dies that I normally use on my single stage RockChucker press.

Shut up, you twat. :tiphat:

ATF: It's Now Legal to Shoulder an AR-15 Pistol Equipped with an SB Tactical Arm Brace - The Truth About Guns

Now the current gen stabilized Kriss Vector Pistol uses a SB Tactical arm brace.

Hmmmm a Vector pistol might be in my future.

Especially in 10mm. ;)

Probable won't get one. :p

wait... so this is potentially cali legal? Dont you dare get my hopes up Bam... I swear to God you better not play with my heart like this.

Soooo I have a few thousand empty casings laying around lol

If you're ever bored let me know I could use some reload ammo for target practice :)

Pretty much have brass for ever caliber at my house.

What calibers, and how many casings for each?

I have 9, 38, 40, 45, 5.7, .223, and .556

Not sure in quantity they've just been building up lol I go shooting, I collect the brass, it then sits on the shelf because I never made the move towards buying my own reloading setup lol

I'll reload for you. Just pick up the cost of primers, powder and bullets. I cast my bullets for 9mm, 38/357, 40/10mm, 44, and 45 ACP for practice shooting if you want to use them.

To bad we don't live closer, I would even buy beer, moonshine or whatever!

I just shipped 300 rounds to my one son in Greeley Co. and 700 rounds to my other son in Bloomfield NM. What do you have?
