Review: Removes military crimps consistently. - The least expensive tool for removing military crimps consistently. There are several ways to remove military crimps from fired brass but this one is easy, cheap and fast. I love this tool! Yes, you could spend a lot more money on Big Blue's swaging tool, but RCBS has created a system that is easy and familiar. As reloaders we are used to doing almost everything on the press including priming, this tool feels like another reloading step. Very simple to set up and use. If your press is made by Lee and you have trouble getting the case stripper to work, just call RCBS and they will send the correct part in a few days. As a power user of Lee reloading tools I've come to accept the fact that Lee stuff just works a little bit differently. No big deal. If you pick up range brass you'll be surprised how many brands of .233 are crimped. All federal brass is crimped, even the American Eagle stuff you buy at Wally World. For me this is the right tool for the job, and it works on my Lee Single stage press. Much more precise than trying to cut the crimps out with a pocket knife or other hand tool.

There are several ways to remove military crimps from fired brass but this one is easy, cheap and fast. I love this tool!

Most Nato rifle cartridges come with a staked or crimped primer. While it’s possible to decap the spent primer with a little extra effort, the new primer will not seat until the crimp is removed or reshaped. While you can use a case prep tool or primer pocket cutting tool,.. the swaging dies do a much better and more consistent job of removing the crimp. This kit comes with everything you need to turn your single stage reloading press into a primer pocket swaging device. The kit comes with a single overhead die and locking ring. It also comes with two case guides and two swaging dies that will accommodate small or large primer pockets. RCBS has provided a case stripper that fits over the swaging die to prevent the die from getting stuck in the primer pocket. The lower swaging die installs where the shell holder would normally go. The case stripper slides over that and forces the case off the die during the downward stroke. This kit will swage and reshape the primer pocket on both staked and 360 crimps. The case guide also has a small locking nut so you can fine tune both the die and the case guide, then lock them both down for the most consistent results case after case. RCBS states the Swager-2 kit is made with stronger steel than their first version and back it up with a limited lifetime warranty. The kit threaded right into the reloading press and the locking ring for the die and locking nut for the case guide threaded smoothly too. If you only have a few cases to work with, a primer tool or case prep chamfer might work. If you have more than ten, or are focused on accuracy and standardized reloading,.. you’ll be much better off with this primer pocket swager from RCBS. Once you dial it in for the case you’re working with, every case you swage will be consistent and consistency is what you’re after when reloading for high accuracy. If you have a variety of cases from different brands or slightly different thicknesses of brass such as .223 and 5.56, you’ll want to sort them by brand or cartridge and dial in the die for that specific case for the best results. If you’re reloading for long range accuracy,.. you’re already sorting by brand and case weight, so no extra steps needed. All in all, another great product from RCBS. We have yet to receive a bad product from RCBS and this primer pocket swaging die is no exception. Rugged, durable, precise and easy to use. Writing out the description sounds a little complicated. Take a look at the pictures and you’ll see it’s a lot simpler than it sounds. If you’re in the market for an all in one, small primer, large primer swaging tool, we highly recommend you check out this one from RCBS. If you’re in the market for reloading dies, they also make very high quality reloading dies, presses and accessories. And lucky for you,.. most RCBS products are available right here on Amazon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1861539-rcbs-high-tensile-steel-primer-pocket-swager-tool-2-press](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1861539-rcbs-high-tensile-steel-primer-pocket-swager-tool-2-press) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
