RCBS swagger tool trick

[kbuc nw]

I have the swager that attaches to my single stage press. I was having issues with the 223 brass sticking to my swager tool, resulting in me having forcefully pull the arm up up and pop the brass loose.
nothing in the instructions talks about lubing the base die, but I decided to try spraying it with some One Shot. Sure enough that fixed the issue. After ten or more brass, I'd have to reapply, but it just takes a sec so I'm not bothered by it.
I'm pretty sure someone else has figured this out before me, but decided to share it in case someone else was in the same boat as me.

Doesn't have to be Hornady One Shot. Any dab of lube on the button base of the swager works. Liquid tumbling afterwards removes all traces of lube from the primer pocket.
