    Hi, that APP with swage kit sounds like it might be a pretty decent setup. Especially since it can be made to do other things besides swage. But the question is: how well does the swage kit work?
    I'm looking for another method because my experience with the RCBS swager was disappointing. I ran several hundred through it only to find out that it was still impossible to set a primer in them.

    Works fine for me. I've read others have issues and or say it's crap. BUT. IMO you really need to take your time setting it up. Watch a few videos of set up and operation. Once it's up and running, you're gtg. BUT remember every caliber / case needs to be readjusted.

    IMO it's well thought out idea. But like most lee presses skips out on quality. However as i mentioned before. If they were to do it as say dillon, or rcbs. You'd be paying 2-3x the price tag

    How does it work with crimped primer pockets?

    Once you set it up and adjusted works good. I have a 3d printed case feeder for it. But the issue of getting it to work with the cheap tubes lee includes was an issue. Turned a piece of material on the lathe to get it sync'd

    I would be interested in seeing what you turned up to get it working with the feeder. I have several parts of a feeder printed, but paused because when we try to even hand feed while another is running the press, we get double feeds.
