So I am new to reloading and have a question. I just got a Dillon 650 with the 1200 trimmer. I was going to do the sizing,depriming in stage 1 and put the trimmer on stage 4. Then on another plate the rest of the dies. I am starting out with .223 and its mostly once fired crimped primer brass. The Dillon 600 supper swage is on the way to handle this. My question is does the swage deform the brass at all other than the primer pocket? Am I correct in resizing, trimming, swaging then on another plate doing the rest of the operations? Thanks |

Thats what I do. A case prep toolhead and reloading toolhead is the smart way to go. Plus, for a little added insurance and to avoid having to inspect the flash holes and/or remove stuck media in them, many of us add a Universal decapping die in the open station #1 of my reloading die. Cheap insurance. Case prep toolhead with my decapper/resizer in #1 and Trimmer in #4:  Reloading toolhead with universal decapper in #1 and the rest of my reloading dies installed (You can see the universal decapper to the right of the case feed tube):  As for your question, the Super Swage shouldn't mess with your cases except to remove that nasty little crimp. |
