The OLD STAR (original) sizers I know of Size base first. the punch goes on top, the bullet is pushed base first through the die- I am told that is the best way.

The New Magna Star sizer sizes with the nose first the punch still goes on the top be is a flat punch - one punch for all bullets.

Star Lubricator & Resizers / New Magna Sizer VS OLD Sizer

The New MAGNA sizer sizes nose fist so the punch die stays same for all heads. The old sizer sized base first so you needed the proper punches.
Is there a disadvantage with the new nose first method. I heard from one smith that nose first has an adverse affect and the heads become less accurate, something to do with changing the base shape or something. What do you all think?

Star Reloaders / Adjustable Powder bar

I have a adjustable powder bar for the star and it works great made by Richard Daniels.

But is one available with the micrometer adjustment or can it be converted?
