Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, 60 rounds powder and ball and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

not enough clearance between the ram and the side of the press

neat trick I found

I have a 'puffer' bottle of super fine molybdenumdisulfide  (sp) from my springer airgun days

A tiny dusting of molly on the swager button every 10 rounds or so make the cases slide over and off the button slick as ya please

another interesting thing I found - I have a lot of yugo commercial brass stamped 1k 3006 - it's not quite crimped like LC cases but running these through the swage makes them easier to prime
