Dillon Primer-pocket swager.

Has anyone used this machine? My question is, does it resize the I.D. of the primer pocket as well as remove the crimp on 5.56\.223 Milbrass? I have run into very tight pockets on Lake City brass.

It only removes the crimp. If your pockets are tight, that's good. If they're too tight to prime reliably, there's probably still crimp left.

Edit: Well, it doesn't resize the ID on my brass because the pockets are the right size. If they're too small, yes, it will probably make them bigger, but I wouldn't use brass that's that far out of spec.

I have used my Dillon swager on lots of LC brass and never had any problems with the primer pockets being too tight or loose afterwards.
