    Progressive Shotshell Reloader

    The target loads is not as scarce as the 9mm. But, it maybe a good time to start reloading. A good starting point is a turret or single stage machine. In case of the progressive machines, here are some of my thoughts.

    Reason I like Spolar: Reliable primer system, easy to clean up the spill, can be mounted in the center of the desk instead of on the edge.

    There are many models, MEC9000, PW Patriot, Hornady 366, Spolar, and Dillon SL900.

    MEC9000 or other MEC models has a good balance between cost and quality. The big advantage is the amount of units sold, thus the number of people know how to fix it should needed it.

    Spolar is the most expensive one. Easy clean up, good primer feed system, easy change powder drop and shot drop, both use Hornady bushings.

    The SL900 can have shell feeder, which is a big plus.

    The Hornady 366 is good, but not true progressive, and may need to move the shell once after resizing.

    PW Patriot has similar primer system to the Spolar. Maybe able to add the shell feeder too. I may get this one next.

    And, everyone will have powder/shot spill, sooner or later, no matter which reloader to use.

    Long time Ponsness Warren owner here. I have a 800plus, 375 and a 900 with a hydraulic operating system. Had a shell feeder but sold it off. Spolars are pretty pricey, but are definitely top of the line. Had a 366 but wasn't happy so it was sold.

        For volume loading=P/W, for specialty loads=Mec.
