Converting the Machine
The following is a step by step routine to use for
converting your machine to reload other gauges.
Refer to your SL 900 reloading manual as needed.
1. Drain the shot via the shot dispenser drain.
Hint, use an old coffee can, widemouth water jug or
shot bag to catch the shot.
2. Disconnect the return rods on both the shot and
powder dispensers.
3. Remove the shot fitting e-clip on the shot
dispenser and slide the fitting out of the dispenser
housing.
4. Remove the two black toolhead pins and
remove the toolhead from the machine.
5. Install the red flag block into the primer feed
assembly. Fig. 2
Replacing the Shellplate
and Parts in the Platform
1. Remove the ejector wire (#16676).
2. Move the roller handle to the down position.
3. Use a 1/8" Allen wrench to loosen the 1/4-28
brass tip set screw 1/2 a turn. The brass tip set screw is
located on the left side of the machine, below the
platform, in the mainshaft.
4. While the machine is in this configuration, it is
a good time to exchange the red wad guide (12
gauge) with the yellow wad guide (20 gauge). Fig. 3
