Star Reloaders / The Great Star
« on: October 31, 2003, 07:36:44 pm »
I own three machines and one extra tool head. I reloaded part time for a
local range in St. Louis, MO.. The first was a Progressive in 38. I think it has loaded a million rounds of wadcutters without any repair but decapping pins, (from no fault of the machine). I purchased it from Gil Hebard Guns in Knoxville, IL.. Year about 1975! I was also competing in the St Louis Police Metro League trying also to keep up on single stage press. The supervisor I worked for at the Academy Armory owned 2 machines in 38 and 45. I was sold from there on. Also own a Star Sizer. I had a friend looking for machines and found two at a gun show, price $50 for both. I was tickled he acquired them. They need some TLC and a few parts. One had a special aluminum base that caught the spent primers and a shoot for the loaded rounds. I would be interested to know what calibers of dies and shell plates are available other than 38, 357, 9MM, 45ACP, 44MAG, 30M1 and accesories. Also does anyone know if Hulme Case Feeders are still available. Glad I found you all.
