16 Gauge

#1 · September 1, 2018, 1:21 pm

I have owned 2 550's and now I run a Dillon 650 and I really like it. I am getting into shotgun reloading. I was reading the website and it said the SL900 will load 12 gauge and 20 gauge but it did not say anything about 16 gauge. I shoot 16 gauge from my old gun and I love that gun so I do not want a machine that will not do 16 gauge.

Will the SL900 load 16 gauge?

Thanks

Found this from Dillon back in 2008 and doubt if it has changed. 16 Gauge isn't a very requested caliber.

It is a good gauge, but not very popular anymore. 20 ga 3" and more recently, very light 12 ga shells have pretty much put this gauge out of business. We have no plans to offer a 16 ga version of the SL900.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

For shotgun loading Dillon is not for me I guess.

The MEC 600 Jr Mark V is still available in 16 ga
