  • Will it work with other caliber like 7.62x39,308,30-06?

  • @spritrocks Yes, they have interchangeable swaging rods for different case sizes and primer pocket sizes.

  • what tool did you use to remove the primers off the brass? I thought my lee decaping die would break if I do so... please help...

  • @koolmike79 I use a Lee universal decapping die.

  • okay i have a question i am using a superswage 600 and it doesnt seem to be getting the crimp COMPLETELY out! i have to pull the lever two times and then rotate and do it twice more but the crimp is still there. any suggestions? some are 08 some are 06, 05, 07 some are 223, or 302???? should i see more brass coming out because all i really see are thin shavings

  • @murreyhaze The amount of swaging is set by adjusting the locator rod. You'll have to do it by trial and error. If it's too light (primers just won't fit in the pocket without damaging them), then adjust the locator rod by loosening the nut, turning it about a quarter turn and retightening the nut. Keep repeating until the swage is good. Note that you don't want excessive swage. I like to swage it just enough so there's a good amount of primer pocket 'grip' on the primer.

  • @02840 The brass is once fired which is why I had to swage it. It's clean because I cleaned the brass in a vibratory cleaner before I deprime, resize, and then swage.

  • Good video, I learned the hard way about over swaging. I have about 600 pcs of 223 brass primed and worthless due to primers falling out.

    wish I had checked sooner. Live and learn I guess. rifle reloading is much more complicated than pistol . . .

  • I noticed that you wear gloves also. I hate finger prints on my rounds!

  • @ocabj thank you so much, i think ive got it down... i was looking for excessive swage because i thought that is what i needed. but it works out just fine when i stretch it...
