Yup, I would rather do it on a press.

Replacing a decapping pin is cheap, replacing a firing pin is not...

@Synthetic, a primer pocket uniformer would be significantly cheaper than the swaging tool

Also have a look at the rim of the primer pocket. If the primers had some form of crimp, the edge may have burrs etc. It is easy to clean that up using a champ her cutter you normally use before bullet seating.
