I have the Dillon swager, and it works great. The only problem I discovered with it early on is that if I set it to remove absolutely ALL traces of the crimp, I sometimes have trouble getting the swaged case into and out of my press' shell holder.
It makes sense, because the swaged metal has to go somewhere, and you can end up with the area surrounding the primer pocket no longer being perfectly flat.
All I did was adjust the tool to not swage quite as much. Rather than obliterating any sign of the crimp, I just swage it enough to "break" the edge of the crimp, slightly rounding off the transition from the flat part of the case into the primer pocket. The new primers still go in nice and easy, and I don't have to fight the case into the shell holder.
