    Swager

    I know the Dillon Super Swage is the go to tool for the job. I'm curious to know who's used this and to what success?

    I say for the few extra bucks, go with the Dillon.

    I love my Dillon Super Swage. One of the best investments I’ve made.

    I modified my Super Swager; made it MUCH faster. We used it to swage .308 and .30-06 by
    hand for thousands of rounds.
    YouTube has several videos on different mods to SS600s. Mine uses a spring to flip the swaged
    cases backward into a 5-GAL bucket. Some are spring-loaded to pull the rod into swaging position
    as you press the swager handle downward. That looks cool. I think more time is gained by
    'auto-ejecting' than by 'auto-positioning.' YMMV

    I've seen both mods, seems like a time saver for sure.

    Just received the Super Swage today and after reaming, using the RCBS dies in the press all I will say is I should have saved the money on the others and got the Dillion first.

    I thought the same thing when I got mine. It’s one of the best tools on my bench.
