Dillon Shotshell press, SL 900 ..any reviews

[Drdogface]

I have been reloading shot shells, 12ga, for years. I started with a MEC Jr. and it's fine but slow. I eventually bought the RCBS Grand and it's a giant PIA....it always seems to hang up or break parts. I live close enough to RCBS to take it there and have done so. They 'fixed it' but it still mal-functions the same as before. I'm about to just sell it for what ever I can get but not sure what to replace it with.

Have any of you used the Dillon shot shell press ? It's not cheap but Dillon stuff usually works well, and they have that 'No BS' warrantee. Love to have some feed back on this machine before I spend the money. BTW, I load smokeless and black powder (actually Triple Seven). I know that these days one can buy shotshells almost as cheaply as you can reload, but not BP and I load a custom smokeless round for skeet and for my wife...

A friend of mine was into Skeet Shooting Big Time...traveled the circuit and became #2 in CA..Even today I have yet to see him hit less than 23 out of the 25 birds with his 28 GA...Obviously he reloads his 28 gauge...Loves his Krieghoff 32...Anyway what he uses are PONESS WARREN re loaders...

He also does Big Bore Rifle loading....505 Gibbs, 500 Nitro etc...he has a small niche business of supplying his Safari Club friends and associates with ammo for those guns ...he is very meticulous weighing the powder three times etc...
