I've got probably 2000 that I want to run through a swager. Not sure on budget. If I can set this up for a couple calibers, I'd go more $$. As I'm typing this a though just popped in my head. What about a tool head for my xl650 with a size/decap die, then a swage die?A bunch like 100, 1000, or a 5gal bucket full? And what kinda budget are you on?
I have done the size/decap on a Lee single stage for longer then i care to say. It works but it is slow.I was going to recommended that. I have the Swage it brand 650 press mounted swager. Takes 3min to install where the primer punch inserts. I think on Ebay you can get the large and small rifle swage for 120ish dollars.
If you have a single stage I saw that Lee just came out with a small/large swage die similar to RCBS's. No experience with either but people seem to like the RCBS
Do you size the case to? size/deprime, swage then trim or one operation at a time?Another vote for Swage-It. I use one on a 550B, along with my trimmer. I can process military brass progressively. Works great. I used to use a Super Swage 600, but found it took too much time to change between case brands, etc. The Swage-it is much faster.

Brass is about a 1.25 per pound at my local buyer. Anything that needs a crimp removed gets dropped there.
The local range brings in drums full to the same buyer. You can buy from them too. Soft out what you load for and they will buy back what you don't need. Nobody's shooting anything now so it's time for fishing or archery shooting.
