Rottweiler..your assessment of the Dillon is right on. I have a 12 and a 20/28. Unfortunately I can't get the 28 to make shells acceptable to me. Doesn't matter whether the Mec is 15 yr old otr a new one..still a stamped out machine. But if you want the ultimate in smooth etc..try a Spolar. I also have 2 of them and they make 'em all look bad. Only loader to load 410s on for certain. Talked with Dillon and they can't make a SL900 to load 410s so they don't sell one. I keep one of the Spolars set up for 410 only the other is set up in 28 and occassionally 12 ga. It has a hydraulic unit on it. I do almost all my 20s on the Dillon and will probably sell the 12 ga Dillon along with a couple of Ponsness Warrens. Have wayyy too many shotshell loaders here. Metallic too for that matter. In fact one is going on Swap and sell today
