Who did you receive this text from? A member here?

When I asked for their identity on the forum it was not given.

1- 4-2-3 -6-2-1- 3-1-4-1 was the number the text originally was sent from.

I called and it had a Google assistant.

Just stay vigilant

Buyer be very very very aware.

I received a text about my search for a 9mm shell plate.

I asked for pictures and they send the first Google image on the picture list.

This was a basic/weak victim scam and I am certain there exist scams I cannot detect involving star equipment.

Please be aware and be vigilant

Loading Data & Reloading Procedures / Re: Glass powder measure

Greetings,

I bought one of the eBay specials.

Very nice machining.

However, when you close the slide to stop the powder and then unscrew the hopper the slide bumps against the tool head and opens. Thus, dumping powder all over.

Now my glass hopper sits on the bench until I get bored enough to machine a fix for it.

Also, the threads were incorrect. The Star hopper is a 9/16-27 TAPERED thread. The eBay vendor chose to use a 9/16-27 STRAIGHT thread.

Yes, it sort of screws on; but, over time it will damage the thread on the powder housing cover.

Cheers,

Dave

I recently acquired a star press with a glass powder cylinder... everything arrived safe and sound... EXCEPT the glass... luckily the seller packaged it up separate.
