Dillon Precision SL 900 - Manual (Page 24)

Before you charge ahead and begin tossing
components into your new SL 900 shotshell machine,
there is a routine we’d like you to follow.
1. Fill the powder hopper with the powder of your
choice. Fig. 26 2. You will need a once-fired shotshell
with a spent primer. Fig. 27 3. You will need a
powder scale to weigh the powder charges. Fig. 28
4. Place the hull in station two where the powder
measure (#17817) is located. Gently move the station
two locator (#16694) away from the shellplate and
insert the hull. Fig. 29
5. Move the roller handle (#22183) down and
then back to its rest position. Remove the hull from
the shellplate by pressing down on the locator button
(#16753) and pour the powder back into the clear
powder hopper. Fig. 30
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 a minimum of four times
so you are receiving a uniform powder charge.
7. Weigh the fifth powder charge. Using a 7/16”
wrench, rotate the bolt located on the end of the
powder bar. Counterclockwise will reduce the
powder charge weight. Clockwise will increase the
powder charge weight. Adjust as needed.
8. Again, repeat steps 4 and 5 until you’re happy
with the powder charge.
Now that you have determined the powder
charge, let’s go on to station three for wad and shot
insertion. Let’s use the same hull, with powder, in
station three.
1. Get a supply of wads.
2. Move the roller handle (#22183) to its full aft
stop position, away from you. Doing so will cause the
wad swing arm (#16677) to pivot out so you can
