Experience w/ CH4D Primer Pocket Swager?

[Stu]

I just received a primer pocket swager from CH4D. I bought it because I couldn't (at the time) find the RCBS swager in stock.

I discover on opening the box the swager came in that there are no instructions regarding proper set up. I called CH4D and they said they had never printed any instructions for this item. I would like to avoid learning issues if possible.

Anyone have experience regarding proper set up - particularly for .223?

Thanks

Stu

I used one of these 30 years ago and they do work. The cavat is not to try and resize the pocket itself. I had a problem with military .38 special that had a heck of a crimp. I ended reaming the pocket as the CH tool would not do it without deforming the rim of the case. I sold the Ch and instead bought one of the first Dillon and have used it with grerat success since.

I found it does not work for the .223. The darn thing pulls through the rim. I do like the concept better than the RCBS. CDD

Just an observation. The primer looks like it's crooked when seated in the "reprimed" picture in the instructions. It even looks like it's sticking up on one edge. When I use the RCBS Primer Pocket swager the primers seat flat.
