G.S. Custom Primer Swager for Dillon 650 & 550

[Buckeye76]

Any one use either of these?

Seems like it would be a great addition giving you the ability to fully process brass on one toolhead if you have the
trimmer on the same head.

I haven't used one myself, so take this for what it's worth, but using one supposedly voids your Dillon lifetime warranty. It looks like a great idea though.

I've yet to be able find anything from Dillon that says this, although I've read it from other sources. I won't tell if you won't.

So they don't like it, but your secret is safe with me (and the rest of the ODT!)

find an old Dillon 450 and set it up with one of those and the Dillon electric trimmer.

swaged pocket, trimmed to length and full length sized..

then just run them in a 550 using the lee collet neck sizer in the 1st station just to be sure the case neck is straight

I think it would be faster to use the Dillon swagger by the time you take your press apart to add and then remove this swagger.. The aluminum press's threaded holes tend to wear and loose threads if messed with too much. The 1050 has enough stages to include a swagger and I think the 1050 is made out of steel.
