Is there a tool that allows you to both deprime, and swage, off press?

I know you can do each one separately, but I was looking for something to do both and eliminate having to check for crimped brass, and then handle it separately.

I'd like to process a handful of brass off press, throw it in the brass feeder on my 650 and start loading.

You could upgrade to a 1050 or 1100. Both have a swaging station. Just takes money...

don't know if this will answer your question but I've always deprimed military brass with a universal depriming die on a SS press and then removed the crimp with a countersink bit chucked up in a cordless drill set on slow, it takes a quick press against the countersink to remove the crimp, then rotate the brass 180 degrees and inside chamfer at the mouth.

I don’t know of a tool to de-prime and sewage off press. But there are easy ways to de-prime, swage and trim on press.

I load on a Dillon 550 and I have two tool heads for 223 loading. The first tool head is brass prep.
Station 1 is resize and deprive on the upstroke as usual
On the down stroke i swage with a swage it, Products - Swagers - Swage It it replaces the primer system.
Station 2 is trimming with a Lee quick trim, Lee Quick Trim Die 223 Remington it’s attached to a cordless drill
Using these accessories in my 550 I can process brass quickly.

These products work well for me and cost a lot less the Dillon accessories.

If you swage 9mm/380 with the Swage-it, does the brass need to be chamfered after being swaged?

I just use my Dillon 550 to de-prime and then swage on a single stage

No, swager's do not leave a burr. It's an upset forming operation.

This. Milsurp brass with crimped primers is the only brass that needs the crimp removed, I avoid it altogether. But if you have to do it al least you only have to do it once.

Federal NT is also crimped and needs to be swaged.

I've been finding an ever-increasing assortment of commercial 223 brass with crimped primers too. After a recent scan, probably more than half of the commercial headstamps were crimped. Seems like all the cool kids are crimping 223 pockets. Annoying, but you're right that it's once and done.

I use that one too. I like it. I have found that if I line up a bunch of 223 cases on their sides, a quick spritz of Hornady One Shot towards the primer pocket lets them release from the swaging spud much easier.

^^^^ Yea, I squirt the swager with dry mold release every 20 or so rounds, goes much easier.

Size/deprime and swage not by hand, yeah an auto driven 1050 can do more than 4000/hour.

For just decapping and culling by the primer pocket this machine, I built would be pretty close to what you describe. Would need a bit more custom mandrel that runs up into the pocket, to tell if they needed to be separated from the normal radius primer pockets.

That's actually a great idea. I might have to plagiarize.

Lake City 556 brass was all crimped and it is probably the best brass going
