Star Reloaders / REFINISH

« on: January 16, 2011, 03:57:52 pm »

Hey Guys
Anybody have a problem with me sand blasting the Aluminum Base....
This machine I stated loading with for the S'port pistol team when I was on the Shreveport Police Dept., After moving to the new Academy we got a Camdex.....Just used the Star to reload for the pistol team....
I retired in 1980....After years went by I went back helping them on the range for the Recruit training day/s....
Later, the Star disappeared.......
Just 2 weeks ago they found it stuffed in a cabinet back in a corner.....Rusty & parts missing..They told me I could have it....!!!! YEH..!!!   Glocks won't use & don't like reloads...........

Look in your Yellow Pages for a Plastic Supply Co.
In Shreveport there's a Co. called Regal Plastics, I bought Feeder tubes and a plastic cylinder for my powder measure.........

Star Reloaders / Altering a Star Head

« on: January 10, 2011, 02:06:59 am »

I agree with you guys about altering the head, so I won't go that route...The reason I was thinking about doing that was I want to load .45 Colt and later .44 Mag......

Star Reloaders / Converting Star Heads

« on: January 10, 2011, 01:50:48 am »

Greetings
I've been loading since the 50's, Lyman, Star while on the Police Dept &/Camdex, then at home, a Dillon RL-1050...Just recently I recovered my Star that I had on the Police Dept........Parts missing............
Since parts are scarce, will converting the Head from 7/8"x14 TPI  to  11/16"x24 TPI  cause any problems
down the line....I have a extra head that my friend who is a great machinist re-thread the head...
What say you guys.
Regards
Alan 'Doc'
Sorry I got that  'BACKWARDS'
So, I assuming Star Dies are 11/64x24 and standard Dies are 7/8x14...
