Strong Mount
Quote from Reloader on November 26, 2013, 12:23 amMust the strong mount be used with the SL900 or is it optional? If I use it I'm going to need a tall ladder and an oxygen mask to load shot. I don't know whether to continue with the set up or start over with the strong mount. I really don't want to use the strong mount if I don't have to.

Or I can figure a way to mount the bin on the side of the bench and guide the shells to it.

Quote from Reloader on November 28, 2013, 4:03 amDivejj, sorry about the screen man. And Icb, not a bad idea. What I wound up doing for the finished rounds was to fabricate a rectangular funnel, that's connected to a rectangular descending curved 2 sided ramp, which in turn empty's into a padded ammo can. The can is setting on a 2'x2' bench on rollers and place next to the SL900 and can be rolled out of the way when not loading. Total drop from press to can is about 8 inches and the curve helps keep the shell speed down. Works slicker that pig snot. It does help to have a friend who has access to a cad/cam setup and another friend who owns a plastics forming company who took the cad/cam blank and formed the whole thing out of clear acrylic. And it cost less than a Pilot certificate.

Quote from Reloader on January 28, 2021, 2:21 amMy SL900 is on an Inline Fabrication quick-change mount and my reloading bench is 42" high.
I fabricated a curved chute out of steel that routes the completed shells into a 2" PVC (conduit) 90° sweep so that they drop nicely into a 5-gallon bucket below my workbench. I usually load about 500 at a time so this works well for me.
