Star Reloaders / Hulme Case Feeder Question
« on: December 11, 2015, 10:29:25 am »
I have a Star Universal set up for .38 wadcutters, with a Hulme Case Feeder.  I also have a Progressive set up for .45 ACP.
Question: Can I move the Hulme over to the Progressive without any modifications to either the Hulme or to the Progressive?

Also, I see Hulme Case Feeders are going for about $200, if you can find one.  Does anyone make a new case feeder for .45 ACP?

Loading Data & Reloading Procedures / Adapting the Lee Case Feeder

Has anyone adapted the Lee Case Feeded to a Star Press, specifically for .45 ACP?

I have a Star Progressive and I'm loading .38 wadcutters for my S&W M52.  I purchased some once fired brass that includes a batch of Federal brass. I'm having trouble with some of the spent primers punching through and not fully removing from the brass.  Looks like the center gets punched out leaving a ring in the primer pocket.  This doesn't happen with every piece of Federal brass, just one in about every 50 or so.

Anyone have a similar problem?  Other than discarding all of the Federal brass, is there anyway to tell which brass might have this problem when removing the primers?

The problem looks similar to some TZZ .45 ball brass I was given by the US Marine Corps Pistol Team.

Star Reloaders / Adjustable Powder Bar
« on: May 11, 2015, 02:52:38 pm »
I just tried to email barreltester regarding several questions about the adjustable powder bar, but got the message that his inbox is full.

I just purchased a Star Universal set up for .45 ACP.  I want to work up a series of loads with N310 and Bullseye powder for Ransom Rest testing at 50 yards.  How does the adjustable bar work?

Stars Want to Sell/Want to Buy / WTB: 2.6 gr powder drop
« on: March 05, 2015, 06:12:01 pm »
My Star Progressive came with a 2.7 gr powder drop for Bullseye that drops 2.9 gr. Looking for a 2.6 powder drop that hopefully will give me 2.8 gr for my S&W M52.

Star Reloaders / Purchased My First Star Machine
« on: March 05, 2015, 10:45:36 am »
Recently at a match a fellow shooter had a Star Progressive for sale and since the asking price was more than reasonable, it came home with me.  I shoot a S&W M52 for bullseye and go through a lot of ammo for practice and matches, so having a dedicated machine will work nicely.  As set up it loads a perfect wadcutter round with 2.8 gr Bullseye.  Right now I'm looking for some clear polycarbonate tubes to use for a case feeder.  I've found one source of tubes in four foot lengths, but have to purchase a large quanity. If anyone knows of a source that sells in small quanity, say four pieces, 4-5 ft in length, please PM me.
