Swage it
Get rid of it, buy Winchester or X brand of brass

I prefer this as it also cleans pockets and I have modified mine to be able to trim to length.
I clean the brass, run it through the depriming stage on my press, then through the case prep center to decrimp, clean the pocket, trim to length and chamfer the inside/outside of the case mouth (while in front of the TV).

I used a 600 for about 1k rounds. It works and is fast for a 1 at a time operation. The thing about rifle brass prep is if you pick it up you don't have to do it again... Great for practice, not so great for those that take classes or if you use it in a match (unless you mark it).
I used this guy on a 650. Pretty good. Not endorsed by Dillon. Maybe they'll come up with their own version. But with a Dillon RT 1500 Trimmer, swageit, you can process brass at about 800 rounds an hour. Maybe about 600 an hour with a 500.

Say, how can I determine if the Super Swager 600 is actually right for me?
Is it for those who aren't high volume rifle shooters?
I have the RCBS which is great...for very very small batches. I have a bucket of 2k with crimped pockets that I'm working through and I ended up borrowing a Super Swager from a friend, which has doubled my swaging rate. For processing small lots of range pick up brass the RCBS is nice because it's cheap and doesn't take up any extra room. While the Dillon is faster and smoother to use, I'd look for a reamer if you're planning on processing large lots of brass. The non-Dillon approved swaging station for the 650 comes to mind.

Well, I was ordering something from Graf's that no one else had (Dillon 30 carbine funnel) and I needed to buy something to get free shipping so I bought the K&M Precision Pocket Uniformer. I have not fired anything rounds I prepped with it yet as I'm still figuring it out. I successfully primed most of my test rounds I'd prepped with it but I think my technique in using it needed honing regarding the few that wouldn't prime.
Really, if I shot more .223, the 1050 seems like The Answer.

That pocket uniformer cut the crimp? Looks like it'd be a slow process. I was decrimping by hand with a beveled cutter set to depth for a while and went with the Dillon 600 after a couple hundred cases. I set it up next to a single stage and decap then decrimp and toss 'em into the tumbler.

I have tried all kinds of things and nothing beats the primer pocket swager built into the 1050. Go halves with a buddy and you both can make a lot of ammo quickly. 400 rounds an hour is a leisurely pace and it will run forever if you maintain it.Originally Posted by LittleLebowski

Yeah, used a cordless drill.

So far, I'm not happy with the cordless drill primer pocket reaming options I've tried (K&M Precison and Hornady). Just ordered the new Hornady single stage swaging kit that presses the pocket into shape ala the Dillon solutions. I'm hopeful about this product. I'll keep you updated.
