When I first started using the Dillon 600 Super Swage, I had it a little tight. Not crazy tight, but still, a little tight. Later I adjusted it correctly, slowly turning it in, swage, attempt to insert primer. Turning it and trying to prime until I got it to the "just enough" place.
Well, recently loading this brass I noticed the primers were not going all the way in, which left them a couple thousandths too tall.
Taking them apart, I saw the problem. The rod that you slip the case on was stuck against the web (part that you push the primer against that has the flash hole in it) hard enough to push part of it up....and thereby shrinking the depth of the pocket slightly, and leaving the primer the tiniest bit proud. (not good] Fortunately after a couple of thousand cases I only had about 25 like this.
Is it possible to use a punch to slightly/lightly strike it a time or two enough to push it down? If not, no big deal a few lost. Just wondering. Lesson learned.
