Star Reloaders / Re: Does ANyone know what size plastic tube to purchase for bullet feeder?

« on: January 05, 2020, 07:07:07 pm »

You might want to consider having me rebuild it.

The original tube was Excelon 2000 which I believe is a clear PVC (or at least that is what Excelon 2000 is now).  In any case, the size used by Star is not a standard size offered today, so I'm sure you would have to order a very large quantity.

I use clear polycarbonate, but tube I use is much thicker than the original and the ID has to be machined to fit your parts.  It seems to hold up very well without discoloring.  I have not had good luck with thinner polycarbonate

Are you possibly talking about the tube to feed brass to a Hulme case feeder?  If so, polycarbonate tube with an ID of 1/2" and an OD of 5/8" will handle brass up to 41 Magnum (including 45 ACP).   The original Hulme case feeder tubes were a little larger and could handle 44 Magnum and 45 Colt, but I haven't found a source for that size tube.

You can purchase the above tubing from McMaster-Carr and many other sources.

You can buy a brand new one from Magma Engineering.  They bought the Start Lubesizer business when Star closed there doors.  Last time I looked, a new lubesizer die was $52.    There is a guy over on the Cast Boolets forum who makes and sells lubesizer dies for Stars.   I have a number of original Star Lubesizer dies available including .312 and .314, but not .313.

I corresponded via email with Ray Brandes.  He is retiring "again" and has sold off all of the inventory of Case Kickers and Indexers with no plans to make more.
