Now that you have a swage you need a set of gauges to help set it properly. I almost scrapped a few hundred rounds of once fired .223/5.56 by setting the swage too deep. I was trying to turn the crimp ring into a nice visible radius and instead deformed the bottom of the primer pockets. I was able to fix the issue with a primer pocket unifier, but didn't enjoy the extra work I created for myself.
I purchased a three piece set from Ballistic Tools. See link below.
