I've got about 4k of Fed. .223 once fired brass that a majority have the crimp off center or the pockets are off center. The Super Swage opens it up enough for my hand primer to work but the primers seem to catch on the half moon crimp that remains when using my 650. If I force the primer seat it either flips and goes in sideways or peels the primer cup back. I've since resorted to the chamfer method but my fingers are getting sore. I have adjusted the SS 600 to get a nice uniform radius but then my primer pocket bottoms are distorted. Is it a bad Swage, junk brass or poor operator?? Thanks in advance for any and all help!! RR

It sounds like defective brass, but you might try backing up on the swage backup rod about 1/4 to 1/2 turn, so you swage a bit less. As you pull the handle down, gently roll the case back and forth a bit until you feel the swage rod enter the primer pocket, then pull the handle down completely.
If the pockets are off center, then the 650 won't prime properly. It is dependant on centered primer pockets.
