Star Reloaders / Star upgrades almost done

« on: September 22, 2017, 02:20:53 pm »

Been making some upgrades on my Stars this year. I have now equipped all four of them with Hulme case feeders with a Dillon collator, Ray-vin case kickers, adjustable powder bars (two still need them), all mounted on an Inline Fabrication Ultramount with quick change capabilites. Just need to add Moon indexers and possibly new powder measure tubes and I'm pretty much done.
Big thanks to Bruce at SMW, Dave, Z4lunch, Dan at Inline and Ray-vin for helping me making this happen.

Pictured is my press set up in 44-40 Winchester.

Looks like he did the right thing and removed the listing.

The M-A Systems eject ease seems to work well. Does anyone know if they're still available?

Good evening Dave,
I'm sorry, the email must have been picked up by the gmail spam filter, is it possible to resend it?
Thank you.

Hi, Dave,
thanks for your input. I made an order with Bruce for a 45 Colt shellplate, but I now figured I should wait for a proper one in 44-40. It's better to get it right. What's your current turnaround time?
Thanks again.

Star Reloaders / Loading 44-40 W.C.F. on a Star Universal

« on: March 29, 2017, 07:53:32 am »

Anyone done it? I assume I can use an expander for 44 Magnum, and the 45 Colt shellplate seems to fit perfectly. I will not be sizing the brass on the Star, so no need for a sizing die. I guess a 45 Colt seater will work, or possibly one for 44 Magnum? But what about the crimp?

Does anyone know who manufactured this adjustable powder slide? I would like to get something similar for my other Stars.

Lindy,
you're right, there were a few primers left in the primer magazine socket. Going to take the press apart soon and give it some TLC.

If it's home made, it sure is nicely made. A few more pictures, the round counter is a nice touch.

Star Reloaders / I did it again - Just bought a couple more Stars

« on: October 16, 2016, 07:13:00 pm »

Hi!
Just wanted to share with the community that I just purchased a couple more Star machines, one that I believe is a Star Progressive, and a Star sizer. The sizer looks like new and shows almost no signs of use. I bought the reloader mainly because of the extras, it has what I believe to be the M-A Systems eject ease and an auto indexer I'm not familiar with. It also came with a Hulme case feeder.
Can anyone shed some light on what kind of auto indexer that came with this press?

Star Reloaders / M-A Systems Roto-Ease and Eject-Ease

« on: June 08, 2016, 02:08:49 pm »

Does anyone have any experience with the Roto-Ease and Eject-Ease from M-A Systems? I found a guy who has them for sale, but I can't find much info on them. He wants $270 for the set, seems a little steep to me.
Thanks.

Star Reloaders / Re: About to purchase my first Star reloaders

« on: June 02, 2016, 07:36:04 am »

OK everyone, I promised you some pictures of the reloaders. They seem to be in good condition, and operate smoothly. I'm really excited to start reloading on these, I just need to figure out what calibers I want to set them up in. One I'm going to leave as is for 45 ACP, but another I want to convert to 45 Colt. I need all parts for the conversion, so please get in touch if you have parts/dies to sell. And if anyones sees missing or damaged parts, please let me know.
Thanks.
