There was a bit of conjecture regarding swaging and primer pocket uniformer.
My problems were that my S&B 303 cases were extremely in most instances difficult to seat the standard LR primer unless you had the wrists and hands of the orangutan. Using a RCBS pocket swager I found that by applying the swager to the pocket, my LR primers loaded with ease.

Thanks Alpha1
a lot of folk regard S&B 303 cases as disposable. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but there was certainly a period when they would split and seperate on repeated sizings and firings. It seemed to be limited to that caliber. Your mileage may vary, but thought it was worth saying.
