Thats a great deal! Although I think i'm not sure if its worth buying a swager, and then Going through the hassle of sizing/swaging/cleaning when many are sold ready. I have to think about it though at that kind of price

I bought a swager from Dillon and completely regret doing so. The swager itself is very nice and does it's job perfectly but I have found that I rarely need it. Maybe 5% at most of brass I pick up at the range needs swaging. I just as soon throw those cases away and move on. It takes a bit of practice with the primer to tell which ones need swaged but it becomes quite obvious with practice. What I'm trying to say is save your money and just toss them if they need swaged.

That's a good deal. My only problem with swaged brass is that I never seem to get the accuracy out of it that I do with non-crimped virgin brass that I prep myself.
