Removing
the Shot from the Machine:
When it's time to switch to another shot size, place a plastic container or coffee can
next to the shot dispenser drain. Rotate the plastic shot drain with your index finger and
hold it there until all the shot has emptied. Any remaining shot in the shot bar (#16738)
and dispenser can be removed by running a hull through the machine. (Figure
65)

Example: you've just finished making
some rounds using #9 lead shot, the next size you'll be using is #7 1/2 lead shot.
Remember to always weigh the shot charge when doing this switch. Please use a quality
scale. (Figure 66)

Removing the Toolhead:
One of the great features on a Dillon machine is the removable toolhead (#16667).
The removable toolhead (#16667) allows you to convert from one hull brand to another hull
brand or another caliber in a matter of minutes. Let's use the following steps to remove
and install a toolhead (#16667) on the SL 900 machine.
1. Empty all the shot from the shot hopper (#16724) and clear tube via
the shot drain.
2. Remove the shot fitting e-clip and the shot fitting from the shot
dispenser top (#17142). (Figure 67)
