Wilson Trimer Primer Pocket Crimp Reamer?

[USSR]

When using the Dillon Super Swage, you will on occasion get a case with a thicker than normal web, that will not let you push the case into position for swaging. I simply set these cases aside, and when I'm all done, I adjust the tool so that it will work for these thick-webbed cases. No big deal, and it's still faster than anything else on the market.

After reading the posts I have a question. I went for years using once fired military brass and just reamed the crimp out with the cheap hand tools from Lee and RCBS. A few months ago I ordered a Dillon Super Swage. My first effort on it was 450 .223 once fired military. It seemed to work for me OK and the primers went right in. Based on my earlier practice of only cutting out the crimps with hand tools I thought the purpose of the swager was to swage out these crimps. Why is the entire primer pocket important with the swager but not with hand tools?

If the swager head is correctly dimensioned and adjusted, it contacts just the mouth of the pocket and never touches the rest of it. Its only job is to iron out the crimp.

Some handloaders take an additional step, with a different tool, to "uniform" the bottom of the pocket for consistent depth. Unless cases are poorly-made, this is seldom really helpful with handloads for the average battle rifle.

Thanks Para; that answered my question perfectly.
