Star Lubricator & Resizers / Re: Size die install

   You might want to read my post on setting the punch before you install the die?? Unlike most other brands of sizers the bullet must stop in line with the lube holes in the die.    If you didn't get the die puller/installer part you can make one by re-threading a short 1/2 inch  fine thread bolt to 27 TPI, then drill and tap the head of the bolt for a 1/4 inch bolt for the puller.     Robert

   Not really worried about scratching the die, they are very hard! I have polished a couple out two thousandths and that does take a while and quite a bit of sandpaper on wooden dowles.

Star Lubricator & Resizers / Adjusting the punch on a Star sizer

   Someone may have already put this on here, since I have not been reading on this forum long I missed it,  it takes a lot longer to tell it than to do it, so here goes. All you need is a 5/16 bolt and nut, put a bit of lube on the threads so the nut will stay where you set it. If sizing base first, put the bullet on the side of the die with the lube groove in line with one of the lube holes,  place the threaded end of the bolt against the base of the bullet, then turn the nut untill it touches the bottom of the die.
 Install the die and punch while holding the bolt and nut underneath the die feed a bullet to it, adjust the punch down while operating the handle untill you feel the bullet bump the bolt, lock the punch nut.
For a 32 cal or smaller  a 1/4 inch bolt works for the job,    now punch some bullets !!   Robert
