Centering Dillon 600 swage

[Clark]

If I do not put my finger in there and center the case, the de swager will take a nasty bite out of the case head.

I thought about what I would do, and realized someone else MUST have had this problem. I googled it and found this spacer:

http://inlinefabrication.com/products/centering-inserts-for-the-dillon-superswage-1

But that U channel spacer sitting in the channel is NOT what I would have done.
I would:
1) drill and tap in from both sides
2) or made two upside down U channel clips, one on each side

I biked too hard. I am just staring and can't think which to do.
I have thousand or two pieces LC 30-06 brass that has been waiting a couple years. They can wait until I can think or someone knows what is best.

Like yourself, I kept thinking about what I needed to make and wasn't able to easily come up material of the right thickness, and then I found the inlinefabrication thing.

when I bought it, the web site didn't quite show the same detail it does now and when delivered I was a bit disappointed that I had just spent $20 bucks for a couple pieces of molded plastic. But in truth the product works very well for me and I would buy again. A perfect example of KISS (keep it simple stupid) engineering.

That said, the best solution remains, "why doesn't Dillon provide the fix?"

I measured the opening, subtracted the case width and divided the difference by 2. I need 0.052" spacers on either side of the case.

I measured masking tape as 0.005".

If folded masking tape over 9 times and got a flat pad ~ 0.045" thick.

I cut two thin strips from the pad.

I taped a vertical thin strip on either side of the channel wall.

I de crimped ~ 500 rounds and that seems to work.
