Dillon 600 Super Swage

[bulletsmith]

Getting ready to click the buy button on a Dillon 600 Super Swage. It seems to be the best solution I have found from my internet research. Anybody have any input on this tool? Is it the one?

Thanks

I have one and it works well. You will be pleased with it.

Agreed

I have one and although I use it an like it, I've learned that a couple turns of an RCBS chamfer tool in the pocket is not only quicker but does a better job. That's not to say you shouldn't get one. I'm just saying that my 600 has been relegated to the space under the bench more than on the bench. And, I can do the crimp removal with the chamfer tool while I'm out watching TV.

Money well spent.. Maybe Uncle Chan will sell you his for half price ??

Perhaps you would like to sell yours Uncle Chan?

Nah. If anything, I'll gift it to my brother.

Now that's a good brother.

Had to ask.

great investment. A time and finger saver. Used to remove the crimp like Uncle Chan -- the 600 is the way to go.

CH4D Swage Kit is the way to go ! I've done thousands and thousands of military cases with it......

Have one and like it......but
RCBS has one now that has a horizontal stroke vs the vertical stroke of the Dillon
Primer Pocket Swager - Bench Tool - RCBS
Looks like it might be easier to use if you prefer to sit at your bench.
Never used one, but I would have thought about it if it had been out when I got the Dillon.

I did look at that one. My first thought was about hitting my knuckles on the bench top. I'm likely to mount this device on a board and clamp it to my bench, I'm thinking that the vertical force from the Dillon will be easier to control than the sideways force from the RCBS.

I didn't like the RCBS version of this where you have to insert the case from below the die. This setup looks much better.

If you get the Dillon do the rubber band mod to it if you have a lot of brass to process. It will easily triple your production.

We have the Dillon units in stock, fyi

 

[bulletsmith]

Went with the Dillon. I liked the fact that the case is supported from the inside, instead of holding to the rim at the base.

Thanks Bobcat for taking my order, I wish everybody shipped as fast as you did... I'm off to swage a bucket of brass.

 

[ZbornacSVT]

Glad we could help!

I got mine as a Christmas present form my best friend about 20 years ago. Works great, but I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for it. I only use it for small primers and don’t even remember how to convert to large primers. Never had the need.

I second that... Their customer service is awesome as well. I throw that in my RCBS prep press and swage away! I have the Super Swage as well, but actually find the CH4D faster once set up correctly. I like both. Can't go wrong with either and the CH4D is cheaper.

 

[bulletsmith]

With a couple thousand .223 through it, I have found a rhythm, and run through the casings pretty fast. I can see how the CH4D could be a bit faster to use, what I like about the stand alone tool is that it's always ready to go. This way I can use the single stage press to size and deprime until I get tired of that, then switch to trimming for a while. Then Swaging for a while. At no time do I need to retool any of my equipment, it's all there ready to go.

Bottom line, I'm happy. Thanks for the input.
