The RCBS 9474 Primer Pocket Swager Bench Tool eliminates crimped primer pockets from military surplus brass, converting them for standard reloading use. This heavy-duty bench-mounted tool handles .22 caliber through .50 caliber cases with precision swaging action that removes material uniformly without case damage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike handheld swaging tools that require significant force and can produce inconsistent results, the RCBS 9474 uses mechanical advantage through its bench-mounted design. The tool's cam-action lever multiplies applied force while maintaining precise control over swaging depth. This design reduces operator fatigue during high-volume processing and delivers consistent primer pocket dimensions across all cases.
Key Features
- Bench-mounted design with secure C-clamp attachment for stable operation
- Handles .22 caliber through .50 caliber rifle and pistol cases
- Cam-action lever system provides 4:1 mechanical advantage
- Hardened steel swaging rod and die for long-term durability
- Adjustable depth stop prevents over-swaging of primer pockets
- Quick-change swaging rods for different caliber groups
- Heavy-duty cast iron base weighs 8 pounds for vibration-free operation
Military surplus ammunition often features crimped primer pockets that prevent standard primer seating during reloading. The RCBS 9474 removes this crimp completely, restoring primer pockets to SAAMI specifications for reliable primer installation. The tool processes cases quickly without the hand fatigue associated with portable swaging tools, making it ideal for high-volume reloaders working with military brass.
