The 9mm version you mentioned earlier seems potentially interesting, but probably less than 10% of the 9mm brass I work with is crimped, so I'd be reluctant to purchase that based on the idea that it might not get much use. I guess the plan would be that any time I see a military headstamp, that brass would be set aside, and then saved up for when there would be enough of it to justify setting up the swager version of the press.
Ultimately, a Dillon 1050 or the subject of this thread seems like a much slicker solution, but for those of us who have Hornady LNL APs already and a bunch of military brass, I can definitely see the appeal vs buying a whole new press.
