Default Has anyone used the ch 8 ga swagging dies ?

Ive been talking to Dave the owner of CH dies about his two set swagging dies for 8 ga industrial cases . He says he was experimented alot with them and gave me a detailed description how they work . Im waiting to hear back on if they work on the one piece case heads or just the two piece one which are the remington hulls if i recall .

I think using imperial sizing wax this would take alot of pain out of re sizing 8 ga hulls which i know some of yall do by hand or on a lathe .

This is how he said it works

First die has a radius to squeeze the 'BELT" Which is actually another band of brass, rather than peeling it. Second die takes that diameter clear to the rim. I experimented extensively with this & could not make it work with only one die.
