[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 458162, member: 2580"] The tool is called a R W Hart case saver swage for large primer pockets. The Midway product # is 911104. It works by having a steel rod (mounted on a base plate) which will go up through the case neck and support the inside of the web around the primer flash hole. Slide the case down over the rod and insert the swaging punch guide pin into the flash hole and give it a tap with a hammer. It pushes a little of the pocket wall down, bulging it inward, and that tightens the pocket. Sounds crude, but ??? The instructions with the tool say that it can tighten the same pocket several times. One of these rainy days, I'm going to get it out and tighten about $1300 worth of Wby boomer brass that is otherwise in perfect shape. Somebody's buying them! I just checked and they're on backorder status. +1 on the Lapua brass. I sure wish they made Weatherby brass. Tom [/QUOTE]
