Whew!  Was getting worried.  Glad to have the forum back!!

Too much bullet lube?

Some people have put a piece of rubber and a hose clamp over that hole so they can charge with more lube.

Doc, what would cause lubricant to come out of the hole instead of air?

Star Reloaders / Re: Yellow Star Decal

Just saw this on eBay, another Yellow Star decal.  Looks like a pretty late model Lubesizer.

Very rare decal.

Star Reloaders / Re: Cartridge Tubing
« on: June 24, 2012, 05:31:56 pm »
Another alternative is to use a Lee Case Feeder and Collator with your Star.   I sell an adapter that lets you mount the Lee Case Feeder to you reloader.   The Lee Collator works in much the same way as the Freeloader in that you dump in handfuls of brass, and they turn bottom side down and fall into the tube.  The Lee case feeder has four tubes which can be rotated into position in turn as each is empty.   I used to use the Freeloader, but switched all of my machines over to Lee case feeders.

I supply the adapter along with an 11" piece of Hulme case feeder tube to connect the adapter to the Hulme case feeder.

I do check charge weights when I switch from one container to another, and some times in between.  Though it might be a good idea, I don't crono each batch of powder, and I doubt if many do.....not for pistol anyway.

My point is, as long as I have been checking drop weights, a BE powder slide has never dropped the stamped weight,  it has always been 0.2-0 3 grains higher than the stamped weight.  Others I have talked to have said the same..   For the first time, I have a batch of powder that drops the weight stamped on the slide. 

For example, I have always ....always used a BE 3.7 slide to drop 4.1 grains of Bullseye for my wad gun.  Now I'm using a BE 4.1 slide.   That's a pretty big difference.  I'm not complaining, just making an observation, and maybe a suggestion that if your not doing it, folks should check their charge weights when they change batches of powder.

I have a collection of Star BE powder slides all marked on their sides with the weight of Bullseye powder that the slide actually dropped.  It has been my experience for the past 10 years or so, since I started reloading with Stars, that BE powder slides always drop 0.2-0.3 grains more BE than marked on the slide...........until now.

I just bought an 8 pounder of Bullseye, and now my BE powder slides are giving me the exact charge Star stamped on the slide.

Hard to tell for sure from the picture, but those dies look like the are 7/8-14, not Star 11/16-24

I believe the Dies go to a Star Reloader not a sizer.....The extractor
and Handle go to a Sizer.........
