I have read the instructions provided by RCBS on their Primer Pocket Swager Tool -2 (9481). The only thing troubling me with its use is the pop you have to give the ram on the downstroke to loosen the shell case from the swage nipple. (somebody on this site mentioned this as a concern)
I watched a few utube videos showing this and it would appear that the inverted cup strikes the press pretty aggressively. One press operator appears to have sprayed his press in green paint to cover this contact point from the RCBS die swage. It appears that way in the video anyways.
I'm really take care of my equipment, so I can pass it on when I'm gone, and I'm looking for a way to protect the press. A steel or plastic washer perhaps? Any other simple ideas?
I haven't used the RCBS swage yet and could return it for a Lee Ram Swage assuming it doesn't function in the same way. Primitive I can handle but marring I cannot.
