If you've picked up a pile of once-fired military brass, you already know the catch: that crimped primer pocket won't take a fresh primer until the crimp is gone. The Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Primer Pocket Swager handles that job right on your bench. Instead of cutting brass away like a reamer does, it reforms the pocket by pushing the crimped material back where it belongs. That keeps the full thickness of the pocket wall intact, which is the whole appeal of swaging over reaming for a lot of reloaders working through range brass and surplus.
The tool uses an ergonomic upright design with an adjustable-position handle, so you can set it up to work comfortably through a big batch without fighting the geometry. It bolts down permanently or clamps on with a C-clamp, whichever suits your setup, and the included mounting wings make either route straightforward. Construction is die-cast aluminum, and it comes with a large case holder and a small case holder so you're covered for both primer pocket sizes right out of the box.
The quick-change swage pin lets you flip between large and small primer pockets without a bunch of fuss, and the adjustable brass positioning keeps the pin centered over the pocket so you're not chasing alignment on every case. The auto-eject case pin holder is the part folks tend to appreciate once they get rolling, since it pops the finished case loose and keeps the rhythm going through long sessions.
Reloaders who run high volumes of 5.56 and .223 brass tend to like how much faster this moves compared to reaming case by case. As with any swager, taking a minute to dial in your adjustment for a given headstamp pays off, and running a few test cases with primers before committing to a full batch is smart practice. Once it's set, you get repeatable pockets that take a primer cleanly, whether you're hand priming or using a press.
It removes the crimp found around the primer pockets of military and some duty-grade brass. Rather than cutting material away like a reamer, it reforms the pocket by pushing the crimped brass outward, which leaves the pocket at full thickness so a new primer seats cleanly. That makes once-fired military brass practical to reuse.
Yes. The swager uses a quick-change swage pin and comes with both a large case holder and a small case holder, so you can process both primer pocket sizes. Swapping between them is quick once you've done it a time or two.
This is a standalone bench tool, not a die that threads into your press. It mounts right to your reloading bench either with bolts or a C-clamp, and it includes mounting wings to make either method easy. The upright handle gives you the leverage to swage without hooking up to a press.
Like most swagers, it benefits from dialing in the adjustment for your particular headstamp. The adjustable brass positioning keeps the pin centered, and running a few cases and test-fitting primers before you commit to a full batch is a good habit. Once it's set for a batch, it produces consistent results.
