Lee Ram Swage

The Lee Ram Swage (brand part no. 91617) removes crimped primer pockets from military and law enforcement brass on any single-stage or turret press with standard 7/8-inch-14 threads in the frame. Lee Precision built it with a shell-holderless design, so the same tool swages any small or large primer pocket without swapping shell holders, and an all-steel case guide keeps cases positively centered on the push rod during the stroke. Cases like 45 ACP, 223/5.56mm, 30-06, 308/7.62×51, 9mm Luger, and law enforcement 40 S&W frequently carry crimped primer pockets from military or agency service, and swaging them properly is one of the biggest factors in reducing priming problems on a progressive press. Five 400-pound-force disc springs automatically extract the hardened steel swage punch after each stroke, and the complete set includes both large and small ram swage holder assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is primer pocket swaging for? It removes the crimp military and law enforcement brass (like 45 ACP, 223/5.56mm, 30-06, 308, 9mm Luger, and 40 S&W) often has around the primer pocket, which reduces priming problems on a progressive press.

Do I need different shell holders for different case sizes? No, the shell-holderless design lets one tool swage both large and small primer pockets without swapping parts.
