Got a Cabela’s gift card and need a swager for some crimped 223. Anyone have experience with the rcbs bench mounted swager? I’d probably prefer the Dillon, but Cabela’s doesn’t have them. Any real world difference?
 
I am working my way through a lot of LC 5.56 brass that I bought years and years ago, sold as "100% processed". Yeah, no. After F/L sizing and trim/chamfer/deburring everything, I ran them through the Dillon Super Swager. Now... when I'm going to use them... still have a bit of crimp left on the pockets.

This time around, I just got the RCBS military crimp reamer and stuck it in my Case Prep center. Seems to do a way better job than trying to swage them out.
