Newb here to shotshell loading however I stumbled upon a 60's pacific dl-110 that came with my house,not finding much info on it. Is there anyone that wouldnt mind pming or a call to share some knowledge?
So far I've gotten the press unsiezed and have deprimed with it,seems to have an 1/1/8 shot bushing and a Pacific no 462 powder bushing?
Imagine its probably easier to start with something more common but think it would be cool to get this old freebie working. Thanks

I haven't used the dl 110, but I got a dl 105 cheap and put it to work. If your press is complete, it will do a good job for you. Parts are not readily available, but they rarely break. The shot and powder bushings are available and are the same as RCBS, Ponsness-Warren and Hornady. Ballistic Products makes an adapter to allow the common MEC bushings to work. Check the bushing guides to see what powder charge the 462 bushing throws.

Ya know checking the charts it seems of course this bushing only throws powders I don't have lol. I saw mention the hornady 336 bushings are also a direct replacement.
Concerning the press it seems mostly the only adjustment is the center threaded rod,is that to adjust for wad size/depth? And If so how do I know what the right adjustment is?
