Thanks for the kind words.

Greetings,
Look at the aluminum plate on top of the Hulme. One side may have a notch and the other plain. If not situated already, try rotating the plate so the plain side is facing the Star machine.

Stars Want to Sell/Want to Buy / Re: WTB .45ACP Lifetyme sizing die
« on: April 23, 2012, 06:23:51 pm »
Greetings,
RLS are the initials of Richard L Shockey. He was a noted pistolsmith in the 60"s and 70's. He manufactured Carbide sizing dies, "Perfection" brand, in both the Star and 7/8-14 thread.
The Star dies were finished in Black Oxide with the roll marked letters highlighted with red paint. The decapping rod has a large screw driver slot on the top. The threads are not the same as the Lifetyme dies that Star San Diego sold with their machines.
Both dies are of excellent quality. I suspect it was a financial decision as to what dies were used in the original machines. I do not recall when Shockey died as this may be a factor as well. "Dead men sell no dies" or some pirate axiom or the other.
A side note. Some one made the sizing dies for Star in the mid 90's, just before they closed. While the carbide did size the cases properly like the older Perfection and Lifetyme they did not have the nice, well machined features.
Cheers,
Dave

Stars Want to Sell/Want to Buy / Re: WTB... 2 star reloader aluminum base plates
« on: April 21, 2012, 12:49:31 pm »
Greetings,
Without seeing the damage it is hard to offer a solution.
Myself, I would contact a certified welder that specializes in Aluminum.
After weld prep and final welding, you can blend in the bead with a small disc sander.
There is a remote possibility that Bill Cunningham has two bases in stock.

Greetings,
I bought some from Mr. Cunningham. Sent a personal check and waited. They finally did arrive.
It is my understanding that Mr. Cunningham's has a family member that is ill and is preoccupied with this.

Stars Want to Sell/Want to Buy / Owners Manual for Chevron Case Feeder Needed
« on: March 19, 2012, 09:22:03 pm »
Greetings all,
Just purchased a used Chevron Case feeder. It is set up for 45 ACP.
I was hoping someone out there has an Owners Manual and Parts List they could copy and send me.
I am most interested to learn if I need separate rotating disks for different calibers.
Cheers,
Dave Wilson

Star Reloaders / Re: Star vs. Dillon
« on: March 15, 2012, 11:22:15 am »
Greetings,
As a retired Tool and Die Maker, I came to fully appreciate the quality of the Star machines. They are solid, precise, and easy to use.
The Dillon tools are fine for folks that want to "bang out" large quantities of ammo in a short time.
RCBS has made quality tools for a long time. Sadly, they now out source some of their products to Communist China. Additionally, I have one of their Green Machines and I cannot get a response from them, either email or written letter, regarding a missing part I need.
RCBS UPDATE.
In yesterday's mail, I received the missing part I needed for my Green Machine. NO CHARGE! They wrote it up as a warranty item. Thanks to RCBS for coming though.
Cheers,
Dave
