Thanks, what did you have to do to correct this?

Star Reloaders / Primer Feed
« on: August 18, 2012, 08:59:14 am »
I ran into something new for me, 45 acp cases not getting primed. I took the priming slide and primer tube apart, cleaned it up but it really wasn't too dirty. Primer slide, spring and primer punch looked good. I have always used WLP primers but I have noticed that in some lots over the past 2 years, some of the individual primers are either oversized or out of round hanging up in my Dillon priming pickup tubes. I suspect I had a primer that could have not being picked up by primer slide.
I reloaded Star with a new batch of WLP primers, loaded 50 and is working fine now without a miss. Any other things I might have missed to check that you guys have experienced should it happen again?
BTW, running Rays auto case advance and moon kicker with Dave's FC60 short taper crimp die. These items are real values!

Star Reloaders / Building a Freeloader
« on: February 21, 2011, 08:43:51 pm »
I have been trying to find a Freeloader but looks like I might need to build one. Does anyone have some pictures and instructions that would be useful to accomplish this. I found a ceramic bowl measuring 6.5" OD with a depth of [no e-mail]@ 2" so far.
Thanks

Is this a post style TC die for the Star? The picture isn't the greatest.

It did the same with new cases so I took the feeder apart and cleaned it up. This worked better but was still not feeding the case in all the time. It seemed like it was dragging a little yet so I adjusted the bolt cam roller so it had a little more clearance between the roller and the feeder body. The bolt moved smoother and I ran 40 through without a hang up. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Star Reloaders / Hulme Case Feeder Instructions/Troubleshooting
« on: June 13, 2010, 07:00:05 pm »
Does anyone have instructions or troubleshooting tips on the Hulme case feeder assembly? I am starting to have 45 acp cases that don't always snap completely into the shellholder. This happens intermittently now but never did it before. The feeder bar seems to move pretty freely. How do you take this apart? I have been unable to find any instructions on it.

I ordered these tubes from McMaster Carr based on a forum recommendation and they worked great on the Hulme case feeder. They come in 6' lengths.

My Star powder slide cam is held by three screws and has the 3/8" hole that is not threaded at the taper crimp station so the threading must have come later.
