Lee Ram Swage: Precision and Efficiency in Primer Pocket Swaging
The Lee Ram Swage stands as a testament to the blend of innovation and practicality, designed for those who demand precision in their reloading process. Suitable for all single-stage or turret presses with 7/8”-14 threads, this tool is indispensable for any serious reloader.
One of the standout features of the Lee Ram Swage is its ability to operate without shell-holders. This means you can effortlessly swage both small and large primer pockets without interrupting your workflow by swapping components. The spring-assisted case extraction system ensures smooth operation, while an all-steel case guide guarantees that each case remains perfectly centered on the push rod during use.
Primer pocket swaging becomes essential when dealing with brass cases featuring crimped primer pockets—a common characteristic of military or non-civilian ammunition such as .45 ACP, .223 (5.56mm), .30-06, .308 (7.62x51), 9mm Luger, and specialized law enforcement rounds like .40 S&W.
The engineering behind this tool is robust; a hardened steel swage punch reliably removes crimps from primer pockets using five disc springs exerting 400 pounds of force—ensuring consistent performance every time. Installation into your press ram requires no adjustments thanks to rapid-installation swage holders that fit seamlessly into place.
This complete set includes everything needed for efficient operation: a guided 7/8”-14 threaded swage push die along with both large and small ram swage holder assemblies. With these tools at hand, you'll be able to prepare range brass quickly—transforming surplus military and police department casings into viable low-cost sources for reloaders seeking quality materials.
If you're looking to minimize priming issues on progressive presses or simply streamline your reloading operations, the Lee Ram Swage offers unparalleled speed and reliability in preparing your brass—the marksmanship community's trusted companion in achieving flawless ammunition preparation.
