Manual
Swage Adjustments
Use ONLY an unswaged military
case for these adjustments.
With the handle in the down posi-
tion, screw the swage back-up
expander down until it makes contact
with the case bottom and holds it in
place. Fig. 31
With the handle still in the down
position, turn the swage rod up until it
makes contact with the case bottom.
Raise the handle half-way and rotate
the swage rod a quarter turn. Now,
cycle the handle. Inspect the case and
when you achieve a completed swage
of the primer pocket, tighten the swage
lock nut (#14067).
Aproperly swaged pocket will
show a rounded edge around the rim.
Some military cases (.223 & .308) start
out with three small dents around the
base of the pocket, once properly
swaged, the dents will no longer be
visible. Fig. 32
