Dillon super swage 600 or RCBS primer pocket swager

[wcmd]

Opinions please,
I have a reamer type and don't like it.
I am strongly considering one of these.
Thanks for looking,

I knew I'd never get away from crimped primers, so I just said screw it, and bought a Dillon 1050.

I use the RCBS trim mate with the reamer tool its works ok, but what works better is a Hornady chamfer tool in a drill or mounted to my trim mate, it is super sharp, cuts really fast with minimal pressure and leaves a nice taper in the primer pocket, I find it makes it easier to set the primers as there is not a 90 degree hole any more, I was finding with a sharp primer pocket the primer would shave brass off the odd pocket and then that would jam up my primer seater in my progresive...I even taper my non military crimped brass for ease of primer seating...

A friend of mine has the RCBS primer pocket swagger, I have used it and it works very well but still has a very sharp edge and that material that is jammed out of the way is still stuck in there...

What type of reamer are you using and why don't you like it?

I have both the Dillon and the RCBS and Dillon wins hands down.

I have the Dillon, I had a RCBS and a C-H Swagers. The Dillon is much better, the C-H is better than the RCBS.

Just started using my Dillon today. It's simple and quick.

Same here. I got the RCBS military primer pocket remover. It's a long and painfull process. Then I bought the Hornady primer pocket reamer and it was much faster but still not fast enough for a high volume of brass. Do yourself a favor and buy the Dillon Super Swager, you won't regret it.

The Dillon runs over $125 and you can often picked up a used RCBS for $30 or so. The Dillon is far superior, but unless you do a minimum of 1000 a year it might be tough to justify. I recently did 1000 military 308 with the RCBS and it was a pain, but I'll get a minimum of five reloads out of each, so they'll last a while.
