    My Mec would sometimes not drop the primers correctly into the “shellplate”.

    Sometimes a little “cockeyed”…. Sometimes upside down.

    The key is catching it before the shellplate rotates.

    My Mec 9000GN in 12 gauge was giving me fits.

    My other 9000GN in 20 gauge runs really smooth.

    Have you tried calling Dillon?

    You can always send it back to Dillon to get it refurbished.

    Ha!

    Ha!

    I have two flats of AA 28 gauge hulls sitting in a closet. New. Never been opened.

    One of these days, I’ll spring for a 28 gauge.

    Or maybe a gun with a 2 barrel set. 28 and...

    That P/W 800 is a nice machine!

    I will see how it goes.

    I bought my Mec 9000GN in 12 gauge about 12 years ago. It was used.

    It had been sitting on my reloading shop floor up until 3 years ago.

    Then I ran into an old...

    $900 ?!?!

    You better jump on it!

    Mine, brand new, plus the hull feeder plus the 12 gauge hull feed plate was $1,890 out the door.

    The instruction manual for the Dillon says to only dump about 80 shells into the feeder.

    Which does have me scratching my head….

    I splurged…bought a Dillon SL900

    :bigsmyl2

    And it is light years above my Mec 9000GN.

    The hull feeder plus the tilt out wad guide makes it so your right hand can stay on the roller handle the whole time.

    That’s genius!

    I am thinking I want to have less surface tension so the droplet falls away sooner with less diameter?

    Maybe?

    Thank you sir!

    My “laddle” is a big piece of channel iron easily 18 inches to 24 inches long. So I might just cut it in half, so I end up with two laddles.

  16. How soft does your alloy have to be to get hollow points to reliably expand?

    Yeah, just like the title says.

    I have had some MiHec molds for about 10 years now just sitting in a drawer.

    If I get back into casting boolits, and I use those hollow point molds, I am just...
