Index of sizer die P/N?
« on: February 24, 2013, 05:06:35 pm »
Is there a list of Star catalog numbers for the various die(s) for the lubi-sizer?

Thanks
John

I am pretty sure that only one part number was used for the die, "101" and one for the punch "102"   

You could request any size lubesizer die, and you could even send your unsized bullets to Star and they would create a die that yield the diameter you wanted with your particular alloy.   They would also make a punch to match your bullet.

I actually have original Star lubesizer dies where the size is given in four decimal places.

Thank you, that's good to know!  I've seen pix of them electro penciled ... if they were frequently semi-custom made, that makes sense.

I have a lot to learn about these machines
