robfromsc,
I have used:

1) Wilson Reamer (sounds similar to what you describe, but I think mine has lasted several hundred cases thus far) It was okay, but slow and tiring when a major batch needs to be done.

2) RCBS bench mounted crimp removal die. Faster, but I found myself bending the support rodrather often. In addition, the system was slower than I wanted and was finicky at times (brass would sometimes need to be oiled to release from the die, and was the cleaned)

3) Dilon Super Swage. Excellent. Search youtube for it and there are some videos showing its use. I will never go back, but I wish i had started with the Dillon.

Just a note, most of the rest of my reloading equipment is RCBS / Hornady, so I'm not a "blue groupie"
