Title: SHELLPLATE PROBLEM
Post by: askimball (Doc) on March 17, 2011, 09:44:26 pm

I have a shellplate marked .38 Sup, from the interchangeability list this plate should work for 40 S&W / 10mm...
The plate I have is Tight on the cases (10mm) Some of the cuts on the plate are tighter than the others............

Could this post on another Posting be the cause ??? ???
The Update was taken from his Post (dbltapster)
Case kicker problem by  dbltapster

Update:  After manually checking that the brass was ejecting without snags, I adjusted the cam plate approx. 1/4 inch below the die plate.  That seems to have done the trick.  I have cycled brass through the shell plate both manually and with the indexer, and the kicker is functioning well in both modes.  Thanks Art.

Hey Art,

In your post you mentioned an "interchangibilty List." Where can I find this list for I am new to the Star Reloader and would appreciate any  help on pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks!!

Tony

Tony,
If you look in any reloading handbook you will probably find a list of
cartridges and their respective shell holders. The Lyman 49Th edition page
457 has pistol cartridges listed. I use the RCBS numbers as I use their
shell holders on other presses.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike and rb,

The information you sent is VERY helpful. I'm needing to dig alittle bit deeper in the powder charge slides and the amouth of it to apply to a specific cal. and bullet weight. I have to admitt being a newbie I am a little bit chicken when  it comes to handling powder. I don't want anything to happen to myself with an overcharged load or waist my componets either.
Also the thread was very helpful in understanding what is avalible.

Thanks again!!

Tony
