I just got one this week literally. My first run was 1200pc of Winchester mil brass, all 1200pcs in 1.5 hours with a crappy old RCBS single stage I'd had laying in the shed. This is BY FAR the easiest way I've found to deal with crimped mil brass, that including reaming and the Dillon Super Swage.
I am going to have to try the Lee swager. I have an RCBS swager that works just like the Lee and it opens up the primer pocket well, but the real problem is after the swaging stroke, when the case is now coming back down, it will not release easily of the swager nipple. I have to slam the handle of my rock chucker press hard, some times multiple times to get the case to pop off. I am beating the crap out of my press and rattling my whole reloading bench. That is unacceptable as far as I am concerned.
That was a good touch narrating through the press.

I will give the Lee Ram Swage a vote of confidence.I've used it for most of a year rather than reaming which I did for two years.
RCBS military crimp remover for prep stations. Easy and primers slide right in. I've used most of them and none work better.
Are you talking about their swager that works like the Lee? See my comment above.
Hurry up, dam it !!😊
I run it twice. Up 1x, turn and up a 2nd.
Has anyone tried Wolf SR primers with this swage? IIRC the RCBS swage made for loose fitting primers.
Yes and mine had no issues with either the Wolf SR or SR .223 primers (I have a big stash from before the ban).

I'm considering this for some of my MKE brass and because it looks like such a useful tool. Thank you
