A good friend bought a 930, waterfowler, and couldn't get t thru 2 stations of Sporting Clays with the gun. Back to Moss, 3-weeks to "repair" -- took it duck hunting, and shell stuck in chamber after 3-shots. Back to Moss, installed new barrel. Sporting Clays, ran OK with Rem gun club, loaded Federal game loads, and broken extractor. Back to Cabela's for reimbursement, and bought a benelli. --CC

Been loading shotshells for 30+ years... Mec-600, Mec Sizemaster, Ponsness Warren progressive (bad experience for me), Dillon SL900, PW DuoMatic for 'specialty loads'. For me, the PW DuoMatic for single-stage loading is a keeper. I run a Dillon SL900 for Sporting Clays loads, but this press is not suited for loading small batches of specialty loads (which is why I keep a single-stage press on my bench). I enjoy loading, buy shot and wads in volume at discount prices (size 8-1/2 is my preferred shot) and I like the ability to customize all my loads. I would recommend a MEC600 or DuoMatic for a new shotshell handloader. Capt_C
