Loading Data & Reloading Procedures / Re: Powder Check

« on: February 06, 2023, 10:39:48 pm »

I have been reloading with the Star Machines since 1956, I've had one occurrence with powder drop consistency, don't remember the name of the powder, but it was "bridging" in the powder magazine.  I discovered this after loading a batch of 44 mag that didn't shoot very well. Not sure but possible cause was the powder had been exposed to moisture. lesson learned=Don't leave powder in the hopper over night !

Survey Says... / M.A. Systems Bullet feeder

« on: July 30, 2022, 07:47:48 pm »

Just out of curiosity,, How many Folks out there have M.A. Systems Bullet feeders and are You using them ?
I have 2 of them running on a couple of Universals. They run very well with little or no problems.
They were a little bit difficult to set up, But once properly set up and locked in, they work very well.
Your thoughts ?

P.S. I need two more bullet feeders.

Loading Data & Reloading Procedures / .45 Brass small primer thorn.

« on: July 06, 2022, 06:53:46 pm »

Trying to load large pistol primers into the occasional small primer hole ".45 ACP" on Star Re-loaders is a PITA.       
Requiring dangerous disassembly to remove the crushed primer. I sort the cases to remove small primer cases but overlook about 1-2 per thousand cases sorted. Whoever thought to bring back small primers for .45 ACP needs His A.K. , Anyone else have this problem ?

I have found that dropping a lubed case into the machine about every 20-25 cases will make it easier to pull the handle.
Cheers.

That little pot holds about 20 Lbs of lead and gets refilled when needed from two other pots that holds an additional 2o Lbs that is already up to temparture. BTW, That Seaco pot is ser. No. 018 stamped on the nomanclature plate. Nearly as old as Me !
My bit of trivia for the Day.
