primer pocket swager

Has anyone used this one from CH It says the steel is hardened, so I guess it won't bend like some have said the RCBS one does.

Loos like a ram prime with a couple extra swage punches. Good idea! I haven't used one, but then again, I've never seen/read reports on reloading forums of bending RCBS swagers either...

If I swaged primer pockets, I'd prolly choose this tool. But I haven't ever swaged primer pockets in 30 years of reloading

so I have no need.

RCBS claims to have improved theirs, probably in response to bend complaints. CH4D is a reputable company, and I wouldn't have any problem giving theirs a try if I were in the market.

Looks like they have taken care of the problem that the RCBS has had with the case removal when you have a larger than normal ram diameter.
C-H stuff is REAL stout.

Thanks for the replies, I am going to order a set. I am also going to order a primer arm from them since it is half the price as from RCBS. I am also going to order their collet bullet puller.

I have a CH4D and it works very well. All you need is the proper shell holder and a minute to adjust it properly.
