I have the proper clearance on the height of the primer slide, but that rascal just won't come back a 1/16 of an inch to pick up the new primer. If I pull the slide back that 1/16 of an inch it picks up a new primer. Suggestions? Next problem: When I get the slide to pick up the primer the shell plate has not rotated quite enough for the brass get directly under the powder funnel/expander and about one in 10 pieces of brass gets damaged. What I have done it put the entire rebuild kit in it, adjust the screws on the primer slide for travel. Called dillon three time got three different answers and not of the three solutions has solved the problems? Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LM

If I had it all to do over again. I would get all the presses in the same model and that would be a 1050. It saves time in changes and you only really have to have one set of spare parts. I don't have a 900 but everything else, and use each one depending on how many copies I need made. The square deal for rounds I don't use very often - .44 mag 550 for .38 special 650 for .40 S&W 1050 for 45 acp and another for .223 Once the press is set up and I have the load that works for me, I can just go to the shop and crank them out. I did not get these all at once but when I found what I thought was a good deal at the gun shows or on Ebay I bought it. Once you get the primer machine from Dillion you will give up anything else. Until I actually got into reloading, I thought it was time wasted. I should be shooting or training. But now I actually enjoy turing out a quality product and seeing how far I can push the envelope. I get a kick out of making bullets that you can't walk into the store and purchase. LM
