I have not been able to use this yet as the stripper cup does not fit 1 1/8" rams. Called RCBS described my issue they are shipping me the larger cap free of charge. I only wish I had known this beforehand so I could have ordered one the same time I ordered this tool set. Have not received the cap yet so I do not know how well the swager works.

Works great. Take a moment and find a YouTube video on operation. That will help you on first time use. Made quick work of 500 LC 308 on first use.

This swager from RCBS is amazingly simple to use and is the quickest and easiest tool I know of to remove the crimp from a primer pocket and costs far less than the blue bench mount unit! It does NOT fill all presses right out of the box however, but a quick call to RCBA and they shipped me a different cup to fit my press, FREE! Once setup and running, removing the crimp takes seconds, as fast as you can feed the brass and pull the handle the crimp is gone. My finger tips have been thanking me ever since, I used to spend hours with a primer reamer and a chamfer tool to accomplish the same thing. Thanks RCBS-great tool!
