Title: Powder charge bars based on Bullseye only?
Post by: beeser on April 16, 2015, 11:04:41 am

Are all Star charge bars based on Bullseye powder only?  If so, is there a conversion for different powders?

Greetings,

One of the better options for charge bars is to have one machined with a 0.501" hole to accept interchangeable bushings. Ask around at your Gun Club for a machinist that can supply brass bushings with precision holes.

Use the Lee Precision method of VMD. Check the Lee Precision website for a more detailed description.

Cheers,

Dave

The charge bars that Star Machine Works currently offers are all machined to accept bushings.   I have "0", "00". 1/2" and 5/8" charge bars available.   Prices vary depending on the size, but a "00" charge bar with one custom bushing is $35.   Additional bushings are $7 each.   I use the published VMD to calculate the appropriate hole size.

As to the original question, Star Machine Works made powder bars for all common powders, but the Bullseye "BE" were the most common.

Bruce: If I am using 4.4 gr WST (VMD = 0.1205) how do I order a charge bar and bushing from you?
