Loading Data & Reloading Procedures / .38 caliber 158 grain SWC
« on: August 05, 2010, 10:55:46 pm »
Have only loaded 148 grain wadcutter w/2.7 Bullseye powder on the Star to date, for NRA 2700 matches.
Am going to begin loading 158 SWC. also with Bullseye powder. Have a few differant loads I made on the Dillon, but not yet had time to shoot and chronograph, and check for sight change.
Plan on using for NRA Distinguished Revolver in a 6 inch barrel.
Wondering what others on this forum have loaded on the Star and have been happy with both in terms of performance and accuracy.

Yes the huts are still in use for some competitors and volunteers. They also have a number of newer modules, much like motel rooms, that replaced many of them, in the same area off commercial row. Two beds and a bathroom attached. Most of the inuse remaining huts have been reconditioned, repaired and many painted green. Modern latrines (central bath facilities) were added in the hut areas.
A motel like building was also added in the direction of the clubhouse. One bedroom rooms with a shared bath between two rooms.
The old clubhouse was torn down, and the motels in the front of it were destroyed by tornadoes and demolished. There still are a number of the remaining officer cottages that were near it, as well as new modules which are really three/four bedroom houses. They now also have a new full hookup RV/campground area.

I would suggest an adjustable powder bar.
Two sources on this site.
RBWillNJ has the bars with inserr ts,
Barreltester makes the screw type adjustbale.
I have both kinds. each work well, each have their positives and negatives, but both worth it.

For someone that shoots a lot, 1000 yes, 1,500 maybe, 2,000 not sure.
I cannot imagine 5K for a reloader. That would price out the market.

Being a pistol enthusiast, I have not seriously done shotgun so had never heard of the Spolar.
WOW!. Starlike in quality and design. Costly? Yes, but a price I would pay if I was seriously in the sport like I am in pistol. Have never seen a Spolar in person, only a Dillon. From the web site alone, there is no comparison to the Dillon, which is a good machine.
Not sure I would get the hydraulics, but that was a great idea to incorporate into the production. With some engineering, it could probably be adapted to a Star.
I do see that they say the slow down in the computer and aerospace industries allowed them to advance the manufacturing concept to an affordable level. I would speculate this was a project that was done in down time, because to dedicate time and effort to this alone as a project would definitely be costly.
I would suggest everyone take a look at the videos on the site if they have never seen a Spolar.

« on: February 15, 2010, 12:31:44 pm »
There is a .38 shellplate on ebay.
The seller states it is for the Progressive not Universal.
I do not know why, or what the reason is.
Anybody care to elaborate?

Star Reloaders / Re: Converting a Star Progressive to 9mm
« on: February 10, 2010, 10:49:28 pm »Unless someone knows differant, the major difference (outside the "O" powder housing) is the inclusion of locating straps on the Universal model to allow for adjustment of differing caliber brass rims.
The 9mm being smalled that the .38, should not be impacted by the lack of locating straps.
You may have to make adjustments to a powder bar to get the desired charge, or obtain an adjustable model, or upgrade to the "OO".
There were (are) progressives in .32, which is why I think the 9mm is an option.
Anybody else know something differant, or something I missed?
