I set up my new Dillon trimmer the other day and ran about 500 rounds of LC, WCC, FC, and some misc. commercial thru it to get the hang of it. Sized all the brass to 1.750 and called it a day.
Next day I decided to swage the LC and misc crimped brass I had, some WCC and FC. Setup up my Dillon swager using a LC piece and proceeded to swage. No problem on the LC but all of the WCC and FC wouldn't fit in the swager. I used my caliper to check the case length, diameter of the case mouth (OD and ID), etc. Problem is, I can't figure out why the, other than LC cases, wouldn't fit in the swager. Each piece irregardless of manufacturer fit the caliper and the case gage to the same specs. No major difference in case that I can see. Any suggestions on what to check? |

Do you mean that the case mouth won't fit over the swagging rod?
IIRC, the sized on the dillon trimmer doesn't have a provision for expanding the case neck when trimming, so has to be done in a separate stage. Difference in neck thickness may let some be used without expanding. 'Borg |
