That looks interesting and they have developed a pneumatic system to go with it.
Thanks,

If you buy the Spolar direct from the factory Spolar will set it up to your exact load -- primer, powder, wads, and shot -- and load 100+ loads on it before shipping it to you.
If bought locally guess one would have to adjust it to their personal loads.
Would hope a local dealer would help with the adjustments.

I may buy it from the factory then, if I buy this one.
Thanks,

Spolar is made Bloomington, CA about 30 miles away.The friend who had the Dillon shotshell loader sold it , didn't like the too tight tolerances.He purchased a Spolar and had it setup for different guages .He has Pacific DL 366 also. I just saw some used spolars listed on line google search for spolar brought up some for sale.

I have seen the Pacific loader in a couple of catalogs. But here I can ask questions and get honest opinions, at some of the bigger box stores, they either don't know or just try to sell you something they have no idea about.

Use Dillon 550, 650, and 1050 machines for metallic cartridge reloading -- so I like the Dillon company.
But for shotshell reloading, can't imagine anything better than a Spolar.
Use Spolar for 12, 16, and 28 gauge.
Probably will add 20 gauge soon.
Have three MEC machines too. They're good. But they're not a Spolar.

Check out all of the reloading machines then make your choice,my friend said if one bought all of the spolar add ons it could come to several thousand dollars.

Currently have a little over $3,500 invested in Spolar equipment.
Well over ten times that amount in Dillon.

My Pacific DL366 was about $179 including tax in the 1970's now they're over $500 sold by Hornaday.
