Upgrade your reloading workflow and keep your brass prep running smoothly with the Lee Precision Automatic Processing Press Small Swage Punch (91565). Designed specifically for the Lee Automatic Processing Press (APP) system, this small swage punch is a purpose-built tool for reloaders who want faster, more consistent primer pocket prep—especially when working with crimped primer pockets commonly found on military or certain commercial brass.
If you’re searching for a Lee APP small swage punch, Lee Precision 91565, primer pocket swage punch, or 734307915650, this component is a smart addition for high-volume reloaders who want to streamline brass processing and reduce the time spent fighting stubborn primer crimps.
What the Lee APP Small Swage Punch Does
Swaging is the process of reforming a primer pocket—typically to remove a crimp—so new primers can seat smoothly and consistently. When brass has a crimped primer pocket, attempting to prime without swaging (or reaming) can lead to:
Hard or inconsistent primer seating
Damaged primers
Crushed primers or distorted primer cups
Slower reloading and increased frustration
The Lee APP Small Swage Punch is designed to help you remove that crimp by swaging the pocket back to a usable dimension. The result is brass that primes more smoothly and consistently—an important foundation for reliable ammunition.
Built for the Lee Automatic Processing Press (APP)
The Lee APP platform is favored by many reloaders for its efficiency in repetitive brass processing tasks. This small swage punch is made to integrate with that system so you can process brass rapidly and with consistent results.
Why this matters:
The APP is designed for throughput—this punch supports that goal
A dedicated swage punch helps keep your process repeatable
Proper integration reduces setup headaches and keeps the workflow efficient
If you already own the Lee APP, this punch is a logical upgrade to expand what your press can do and to make primer pocket prep less of a bottleneck.
Small Primer Pocket Swaging: Perfect for Common Brass Types
This is the small swage punch, intended for brass that uses small primers. Many popular cartridges use small primers, and a lot of once-fired brass—especially range pickups—may include crimped pockets depending on source and lot.
Using the correct swage punch size is essential. A properly sized punch helps deliver:
(Always confirm your brass primer pocket size before processing.)
Why Swaging Beats Fighting Your Priming Tool
Reloaders who process crimped brass eventually hit the same reality: you can’t “muscle through” a crimp forever. Swaging is a clean, repeatable solution that helps keep your loading process safe and efficient.
Benefits of swaging with a dedicated tool:
Faster primer seating during loading
More consistent primer depth and feel
Less primer damage and fewer stoppages
Improved workflow for high-volume processing
For bulk reloaders, swaging is often the difference between a smooth production session and an afternoon of frustration.
Ideal For High-Volume Brass Prep and Range Pickups
The Lee APP Small Swage Punch is especially useful if you:
Process large quantities of once-fired brass
Pick up mixed range brass and sort/prepare it in batches
Reload common small-primer cartridges frequently
Want to reduce time spent on primer pocket prep
It’s also a great option for reloaders who prefer swaging over reaming because swaging reforms the pocket rather than cutting material away, which many users find produces a consistent feel when priming.
