Using a Star Luber after a 10 year break

<< < (2/3) > >>

Thanks for the input Dave.

Found out the bullet I was lubing had so short of a bearing surface that I kept getting lube in areas I didn't want.  Eventually went to an RCBS manual luber.  I sure do like the speed of poking bullets in the Star.  Back when I used it before I was shooting 180 grain .38's.  This time I'm lubing 150 grain 38's.  I guess the 30 grain difference called for a shorter bearing surface, hence the difficulty I was getting in lining everything up correctly.

Greetings,

If the bullet is a single grease groove, just plug the upper two rows of die holes with Lead shot.

Cheers,

Dave

it's got two rows Dave and I had a hard time lining them up.  Then I quit.

I rethought the bullets I wanted to lube on the Star.  Switched from one with skinny lube grooves to a Keith style 358429 and alignment was lots easier.  I lubed 300 bullets in 21 minutes.  Works real quick.

billwnr:
I haven't added lube to my Star since before my casting/shooting break.  I'm wondering, does the Start take solid lube tubes or hollow?  Looking down the top of the top of the tube I'd say it's solid tubes.  Am I correct.

Bill
