Star Reloaders / Alternative or substitute parts
« on: May 02, 2008, 07:17:05 pm »
Various areas of this site reference substitute parts. Some members make various parts and accessories.
Plastic for Hulme feeder tubes, Dillon primer follower for primer tube, etc.
Various bolts, screws, springs from other sources to substitute for actual Star parts.The informatory is scattered and hard to find.
Please list here, for members to comment on for those that could use alternative parts to repair or replace original.

I agree, Ron. Quite a difference on pictures, and variance in prices. Some include many featuring differant views, angles, etc. Some just one generic picture. Personally, I have asked for more info or pictures, and if not forthcoming or provided feel it is better to pass.
Some, the descriptions are very good, others short and non-informative.
Although, I have found most buyers and sellers who are sincere, are thorough. Unfortunately some just take advantage.

I figured I would list the prices for information as a guide for wtb/wts.

Survey Says... / Values and prices

Following the auction listings on ebay and gunbroker, I have noted the following recent sales. Gives an idea of the recent resale market, of supply and demand.
 .38 only progressive sold on 03/29/08 $ 701.38
 9mm universal sold on 03/02/08  $ 721.88
 .45 universal sold on 03/02/08  $ 585.06
 .45 universal w/case feed and indexer 02/13/08  $ 566.99
All plus shipping costs additional.

Like most quality goods, they still hold value.

Star Reloaders / Re: Star Reloader Parts

There is a member on this site; Steve Ogden that has a number of older leftover parts. You may try him.
His message box here is often filled, but somewhere in the wtb/wts area is his address and contact info.

Curious though as to why you want it to add it or how much you use it. If there is a taper crimp die in the last position, it cannot be used. I have a topic started on this elsewhere on this board.

Good luck.

Star Reloaders / Re: Question about Primer Slides

Found it.
Posted by Catmandou under Primer slide in this forum.
Sounds logical, but even with close tolerance machining there is "space"

Again I'm replying to my own post, (sorry)

I've been told that the reason for the second hole is to
smooth out operation. The hole was put there to let air
escape.

Sounds logical. I've observed this in well made equipment
made by machinists (tool & die grade)

Hello Brad!

I do recall a thread on this site about it, but do not remember where. Perhaps someone else remembers, or can provide the answer a little quicker.
When (if) I find it, I will let you know.

You can also try leaving a message for member Ed Looney.
He did have a size/weight conversion calculation of various powder charges,

You can also look on Ebay. Search vis star reloading.
Generally, dies and punches, but some other parts occasionally.

Star Reloaders / Safety cam
« on: March 13, 2008, 02:41:47 pm »

My Star originated with my father in 1965. He had used another Star before he got his without a safety cam installed. It has never been installed on the press I still use. It is in a small plastic bag; might even be original.
We had/have a consistent routine we followed when reloading, start to finish. Neither my father or myself, have ever had a double charge, loading in excess of a 100,000 rounds in both .38 and .45.
I suppose this topic may have as much debate on thoughts about for powder shutoff's.
Do most reloaders use it or remove it? Beside the obvious, why or why not?

He has a number of items currently listed on Ebay right now. He did have a base in the not too distant past. Unknown of he had any bidders.
He is not very active on this forum, (last on 09/2007) so best is to contact him via his ebay auctions.

Having new production with the same quality as before would be great for all of us that still use and prefer stars. I certainly would be open to adding additional toolhead, and calibers.
As I understand it, the patent has expired, so could not they begin to manufacture them on their own anyway?

Glad for the comments. I will add primer rocker pin to the list. Never had a problem with one yet, but very affordable insurance.
No real concern with locater strap, but primer punch and parts warrant thought.
