Star Reloaders / Re: Primer Explosion

« on: July 26, 2010, 05:52:19 pm »

I have heard of this occurring long ago---the person had "tapped" the rod a bit too aggressively.  Had many more primers in it however.  I do not recall if the brass tube went shrapnel, but, I do recall the rod went Saturn V-----went through ceiling, attic, shingles etc., never to be found.

Glad you are not hurt.

Survey Says... / Re: Values and prices

I noticed one seller of a star with extra head etc. had no transactions by his name---new to EBAY--.  I have noticed in the past on other items that there are often no bids when there is no experience with the seller.  That may have had something to do with it, perhaps.

Loading Data & Reloading Procedures / Re: NEWBIE - without a clue needing photos

« on: July 26, 2009, 03:52:27 pm »

1. There are some good pictures on this site --check out the "Star Reloaders" subject, then the thread under it --"Reloading Bench Ideas".

2.  There are also pictures and parts diagrams on other areas on this site.

3.  Often there are ok pictures on Ebay where some Stars are auctioned.

If you have any reloading experience at all---you should be able to figure everything out on operation.

IF the thing is entirely dismantled---You might see if you are close location-wise to any of the experienced members on this site for direct help. It appears there are people in CT, NJ, CA, TX, PA and many more.  Also, if there are any "Bullseye" Pistol Clubs or even Practical or IPSC clubs in your area---there is bound to be someone there who is familiar.

Upon this, I am immediately reminded of what Jack Nicholson said in Batman,  "....where does he get all those toys..."

Also, never in my entire life have I ever once experienced the rotten emotion of envy----until now.
