Most military brass has a
crimped primer pocket and there-
fore requires swaging. The crimp
must be removed prior to reprim-
ing and reloading the case.
TO OPERATE: First make sure
all of your brass has been
deprimed.
Use the proper diameter case
locator rod. The unit comes with
the .223 rod installed. The larger
rods are for .30 cal, .38 and 9
mm. For .45 ACP, use the bushing
(not pictured) over the .30 caliber
rod.
Use the proper swage rod.
The smaller primer swage rod is
installed at the factory. (See page
6 for parts identification.)
To change swage rods:
Pry off an “E” clip from either side of the eccentric pin.
Slide the eccentric pin out and remove the handle/swage rod assembly.
Using a pencil or similar object, push out the toggle dowel pin.
Put a light coating of grease over the entire surface of the proper size
swage rod and re-assemble. When re-assembling the unit, be sure the
eccentric pin is on top of the handle in the eccentric, otherwise you won’t
be able to make a complete stroke.
Now set a case on the locator rod. Screw the locator rod in or out so
that the case goes down without hitting the back-up plate.
Slowly push the handle down and move the case so that the tip of the
swage rod enters the primer pocket.
Leave the swage rod in the primer pocket and lock the set screw on the
right side of the swager unit. This locks the location of the flat block. The flat
block sets the alignment of the primer pocket with the swage rod. Failure to
do this will ruin your case and may damage the swager itself.
Adjustment for the proper amount of swage is done by trial and error.
Not enough swage and the primers won’t seat fully. Too much swage will
stress the unit, possibly bending the locator rod.
