The CH-4D swagging die...

In case anyone is interested below is some info on the CH-4D swagging kit.
I've been looking at swagging primer pockets instead of reaming them as I normally do and I think I've found what appears to be a really good die kit for the job. Looks to be a lot easier to use than the RCBS swagging tool. The cost is $35.01 with $8.00 shipping.
The CH-4D swagging tool which is a die with a ram type top that holds the shell holder to place the casing in. I've read all kinds of good reviews on it and the video below shows it in action.

I have used one for at least 30+ years...MUCH easier than the RCBS and many others...
Why did you wait 30 years to say so? I would have bought one 30 years ago if you had spoke up. [;)]
My supply of 57NM is about gone though they were not crimped.
Heck I might get a chance to use it by tomorrow or Sunday at that pace.
The USPS is running on Sunday's around here these days. I didn't know that until last Sunday when I received a package from them which surprised me.
Ummm....unless the case is supported on the inside, I think you'd risk bending the rim on any case.
Your rifle will put more pressure on the case rim ejecting the spent casing than than this swagging tool will.
I installed it on an extra turret plate and it didn't take but a few minutes to adjust it.
I'm amazed at how little pressure it takes to swag a primer pocket with it.
It's a whole lot faster than reaming the pockets. I timed myself for two minutes and without rushing I averaged 18 casings a minute.
After about 45 minutes of swagging with it I ran out of casings. I swagged every casing I have and now I'll have to buy some more if I want to have something to play with. [:)]
