Title: I think I'm about to take the plunge and buy a Star Sizer/Lubricator
Post by: JLK on May 31, 2012, 08:06:17 pm

I've been casting for quite awhile and using a Lyman 450 I bought years and years ago.
I would really like to add another sizer and thought I may go ahead and finally buy a
lubricator to go along with my Star Reloader. :) :)

I guess Magma is my only source?
I will start off sizing .45 bullets.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Good Idea !! The only thing I can recommend would be to also get a heater base for the Star Sizer-Luber and use a hard Lube instead of the sticky stuff.
Used Star lubers show up on EBay and some of the other forums once in awhile, Trouble is, You never really know the condition until you have it in Your
Hands. but You May save a few Bucks buying used.

Good Shooting

Plus 1 on that suggestion.  The Star heater base is a bit pricey (about $90) but it comes with a thermostat.  Lyman makes a heater base that fits the Star and costs a lot less but it has a set temperature which is a bit too high for the lube that I use.  Those who use the Lyman suggest placing a dimmer switch in line with the heater base to act as a thermostat.

IMO, the Star is the best and fastest lubrisizer on the market.

I have one for sale... its already set up for 45ACP and works perfect. I have 38 tooling for it also.
