CH Tools primer pocket swagger

I ordered a swagger tool from CH tools and just tried it out. WOW what a great swagger. I was going to do about 20 cases to see how well it worked and ended up doing 300 cases. It is so easy and fast, I love it. All you have to do is sort your cases by head stamp and adjust the die because some head stamps require a little more pressure. Takes about 10 seconds to adjust the die and then it is smooth sailing. A great swagger for 28.00 plus shipping.

I have it. Once set up and everything in place for economy of movement it is faster than a Dillon super swage.

This is a hidden gem in reloading. For about $35 to your door it can not be beat.

I too own one and wander how in the world I survived without it. Best dang reloading tool I've bought to date. I used to dread Military brass workup. Now, I'm buying good deals when I find it and may NEVER shoot through the one's I have already Swaged! It really is the berry's. I love mine and KNOW, if others would try it, they'd feel the same way. God Bless

Another great. tool is the Possum Hollow case trimmer. It makes trimmings brass a breaze, fast and accurate. Give one a try and you will,love it as much as the CH swagger.

Great tool.

Works best with any shell holder other than Lee. (Lee's rim and base tolerances are too sloppy and let cases tip during swaging.)
I prefer Hornady, with RCBS and close second. I haven't tried a Forster yet...

this is the fastest and very accurate case trimmer. It is adjustable for case length. Very easy to use and makes trimming 223 or 5.56 brass a breeze. Buy this along with a CH swagger and you won't mind prepping military brass.
