[QUOTE="GDKinCO, post: 3020900, member: 111732"] I'm using the Dillon Super Swager 600 and loading on a Dillon 750. I loaded a thousand or so rounds of 5.56 and continually jammed up the primer cup on the 750 with little shards of brass that were left over from the swaging process. I then bought a Lyman Xpres case prep station and run the cases through the primer stations there before loading. Has eliminated my trash in the primer station problem. I'm still not satisfied with my case prep process, though, as it takes a number of steps. I decap on a Lee single stage with decapping die, then wash in a Frankfort Armory Rotary Tumbler (squirt of Dawn dish soap, a bit of LemiShine, no stainless steel pins), tumbled for 90 minutes gets me clean and shiny brass. After tumbling, I run the brass through the swager, then over the primer scraper, cleaner and uniformer bits on the case prep station. Finally, load them up in the 750. So far I've loaded about 5000 rounds this way, and have another 5000 rounds of dirty crimped brass to process. Then if I never see another crimped primer case, I'll be happy! [/QUOTE]
