November 20th 2021 Did you ever use military-style brass with swaged prime pockets? The LEE Ram Swage tool is a great tool. This innovative swaging tool is a quick, simple, and effective way to remove the primer pocket crimp from milsurp brass. Primer pocket swaging must be done when reloading brass that has crimped primer pockets. This crimp is found on many brands of brass used in military and law enforcement applications. These primer pocket crimps can be found on a variety milsurp brass types, including 9mm Luger, LEO.40 S&W, and.223 Rem (5.56×45), 7.62×51, and.308 Win (7.62×51), as well as older European cartridges such as 6.5×55. This new LEE Ram Swage is a boon if you use a progressive presse. Properly swaged primer pockets will reduce priming problems in a progressive press. Why use milsurp brass It is a great source of cases at a low cost. It is usually strong and lasts for a long time, and it can often be purchased at a fraction of the price of new commercial brass. Lake City 7.62×51 (.308 win) brass is an excellent example.
This tool is only for Boxer-primed cases. It does not work with Berdan Primers. The Lee Ram Swage is compatible with all single-stage presses with 7/8-14 frame threads and rams that take common “universal” shell-holders. This new tool includes spring-assisted case extracting and an all-steel guide. This ensures that your cases are perfectly centered on the push rod. No adjustments are required to install the swage holder in your press ram. LEE’s engineers designed a clever shell-holderless design for the LEE Ram Swage. This allows you to swage any size primer pocket without having to swap to a different size of shell-holder. Five disc springs automatically extract the hardened steel swage punch from the primer pocket. The complete LEE Ram Swage set includes one 7/8-14 threaded swage punch die with both large and smaller ram swage holders. Instructions for use:
