Got in today, have my 9000 mounted and turning out shells at a record pace

The mounting was fairly simple, instructions were easy to follow and made it pretty simple, I really like the way the brackets stiffen up the reloader, I am a Happy Shooter.

I just picked up one the other day (thanks Carl). After loading a couple hundred shells, I'm kicking myself for not getting one when I wanted it a few years ago. John.....

smoke, I had a well used 9000 that I put the auto mate on, was fairly simple, when I first got a 9000 it and I had hell for a day or two till it finely won and I set it up like the book said, I like my machine to function at the bottom and top of the stroke, once I got it tweeked there its been doing ok.

The book will help, Good Luck

how much of a mess does the 9000 make with the automate? i was wondering if it might be a little neater and not spill as much powder and shot around and primers? i used to make a hell of a mess with a ponsness warren i had and an old grabber was better. it's been so cold in my basement i was thinking of moving a table into a spare bedroom upstairs but didn't want to make a giant mess. was thinking maybe i could find some kind of shallow big tray to set it in so at least it would contain messy stuff... something like a big flourescant light ceiling cover... you guys look like your areas are pretty clean...

Smoke mine is very clean to operate, I do not have hardly any powder or shot problems at all if I do my part, I keep a close watch on my primer drop and make sure I get a wad in every time, if I do that I only get a few flakes of powder per 100 shells, If I get more than that I am looking at my washers and brass washer on the powder side, generally I find I put the brass washer in upside down, You can also use a powder baffle to eliminate the brass washer, I dont since I use large bottles on both my shot and powder, the baffle makes that powder bottle to tall for my liking, Good luck with it, I have mine in the house in a spare bedroom, have had no issues with the BOSS hehehe.
