Switching between 45 ACP and 45 Auto Rim
(1/1)
6string:
Hi,
This is my first post here. I've been a regular lurker for about a year, but have been aware of Star machines for decades.
I understand that to switch between 45 ACP and Auto Rim, all that's needed is a change in the shell plate. How big of a process is that? Looks like a partial diasassembly is in order.
I'm guessing, too, that those Auto Rim shell plates are not commonly encountered.
Currently using a Dillon 650, looking to add an auxiliary press to split duties.
So, a Universal would be in order for the above mentioned scenario. If that's too problematic, I could make due with a .38 Progressive while using the Dillon for the other.
Thanks,
Jim
PS: This forum is a great resource of info.

Changing between 45 ACP and 45 Auto Rim only requires changing the shell plate. Very easy, should only take a couple of minutes.
I have 45 Auto Rim shell plates in stock.

Hi Bruce and Lindy,
Thank you for taking the time to reply. These are very helpful replies!
Good to know that finding a shell plate wouldn't be an arduous search.
The video is quite informative. Yes, that looks like a straightforward process. Very nice to see a deeper delve into the build quality and design. Nice stuff!!
