How about mounting holes, are there only 4 mounting holes pre-drilled, if any at all? Instead of having the handle pointing forward or 90 degrees to the side, I prefer to mount my stars with the handle at about a 45 degree angle.

What about a 5/8" adjustable powder slide? I believe mine will go up to at least 22 grains of N110, and it's less dense than 2400.

I would be interested in such a review. I ordered the largest blank plate from Dan and I made my own. They don't have holes for the primer drop, only for the 4 mounting holes. They work very well, but if Dan makes some that are tailored for the Stars, I might look into them. Especially if the plates are cut round, like the base of the Stars.

Ebay has clear acrylic tubes that will work, that's where I got mine. For .44 Magnum/.45 Colt etc. I use tubes with 18mm OD and 14mm ID.

I didn't know Inline made mounting plates for the Star, I can't find them on the website. It looks really neat.

Bruce,
I got it sorted out. I tried from another computer on the same network, and I could access the site. Very strange. I deleted all my browser data, and now I can luckily access the site again without using a US proxy.

I get a message that my user is banned. Did the forum block foreign IP addresses? When not logged in, I get a message that my user (Guest) is banned too.

Star Reloaders / Re: Two additional accessories for a Star - what are they?

« on: January 01, 2022, 05:29:07 pm »

Thank you very much.  I thought about the possibility that they were part of the accompanying Luber/Sizer but didn't see any info on that one either.

Very much appreciate your reply.

EDIT:  Now I see it :  the 5101 die extractor pieces.  The bullet remover was threaded in the wrong way.

I am very happy to help!

They are the parts in a die extractor for a Star sizer.

A forum member here made one for me a while back, and it works beautifully. I have not experienced that the powder drops change over time.
I might be interested in a couple more if you decide to make extras.

Bruce is invaluable to the Star community. His wealth of knowledge, passion and helpfulness is mainly why the Star community is alive and kicking. The Star brand could not be in better hands. I bet there are more operational Stars now than there have been in many years.
