Dillon 223 conversion of a Star
Scott L:
Greetings,
In the current April 2023 Dillon catalog on page 87 is a picture of his Star conversion. Hidden behind the book is some linkage that is attached to the crankshaft. Does anyone have a picture or know what it activated?
Thanks,
Scott - the guy who looks at each powder charge, ha, ha.

I have a Dillon 223 conversion I have never used because it was missing the link arms.

Honestly, the link arms are unnecessary. The only thing they do is allow you to raise the tool head about 1/8" higher. Take a look at your machine with the tool head in it's highest position. You will see a small gap between the crank shaft casting and the tool head. The Super Star links allow you to raise the tool head so the tool head contacts the crank shaft casting. Without the links you have plenty of clearance.
I didn't see the April catalog that Scott is referring to so I'm not sure if the Super Star links are what Scott is referring to. Attached are a few pictures of a Dillon Super Star Conversion installed. Unfortunately, they don't show a clear picture of the links.
Maybe Scott could post a picture of the catalog page.

Sorry, should have included a picture. Wrong audience for the blue catalog.
Full disclosure - I have a 1050 and two 1000's, but hopefully get some cred back owning 5 Stars!

I saw that also and had no idea.
Then ran into a much older shorter that said it was similar to a round counter he had observed.
