Have never heard or seen any reference to "Chinese" Star reloaders. No info I can locate on internet searches. Based upon experience with Chinese goods, I would speculate about quality. Where did you find or what do you have for information?

Agreed.
I would think it there was a Chinese variation, there would have been numerous discussions, comments and posts galore on this site!

It would be nice to hear that he can supply shellplates also...dies + shellplates would give us the option of adding calibers!!

I talked to CH Tool and Die the other day.  They are in the process of finishing up about 50 sets of dies of various calibers.  That is to say a few sets of each of many different calbers.   No Shell Plates, but they mentioned something about someone in Conneticut was going to make some shell plates.   I have no idea who that might be.

So has anyone been in recent contact with Bill Cunningham.  I sent him and email about a month ago looking for a taper crimp die and never got a response.   I ended up buying one from CH tool and Die.

Is Bill the gentleman from Star Machine Works?
If so, I emailed him about three weeks ago. Received a response after about two weeks. He apologized about being tied up and sent info on items and prices that I requested.
I placed a small order one week ago, and am awaiting receipt of items.

I expect a short wait on parts since I sent a check. I do not know his policies, but I would imagine he will hold the order while the check clears before shipping.

He had some available.
I ordered one small and large to replace two old plastic ones, I will keep for spares.
