Dillon Precision SL 900 - Manual (Page 32)

When it’s time to switch to another shot size,
place a plastic container or coffee can next to the shot
dispenser drain. Rotate the plastic shot drain with
your index finger and hold it there until all the shot
has emptied. Any remaining shot in the shot bar
(#16738) and dispenser can be removed by running a
hull through the machine. Fig. 65
Example: you’ve just finished making some rounds
using #9 lead shot, the next size you’ll be using is #7
1/2 lead shot. Remember to always weigh the shot
charge when doing this switch. Please use a quality
scale. Fig. 66
Removing the Toolhead:
One of the great features on a Dillon machine is
the removable toolhead (#16667). The removable
toolhead (#16667) allows you to convert from one
hull brand to another hull brand or another caliber in
a matter of minutes. Let’s use the following steps to
remove and install a toolhead (#16667) on the SL 900
machine.
1. Empty all the shot from the shot hopper
(#16724) and clear tube via the shot drain.
2. Remove the shot fitting e-clip and the shot
fitting from the shot dispenser top (#17142). Fig. 67
3. Remove the shot bar return rod (#16733).

4. Remove the powder bar return rod (#17350).

on the front and rear of the toolhead and frame. Fig.

6. Slide the toolhead assembly out of the machine
and set it aside.
