Does anyone have any info on this company. I recently acquired 2 case tube feeders and was wondering if anyone out there had one also. Pretty simple design, a plastic base with a plastic bowl supported by 3 metal legs about 4 feet high. 5 plastic tubes attach to the bottom of the bowl and you fill the bowl and shake till you fill up the tubes.  Only problem I have is my reloading room is in the basement so the 4' tubes are a bit too long.

I bought one off a member here. I couldn't get it to feed 38 spl cases reliably. Cases tipped over a lot. Also, it seemed to have a lot of flex in it. The guy I got it from used it for 45 cases and didn't have a problem. I went ahead and got one from Bruce.

Can someone post a pic of this? What's the cost for one?

Well, got my sizer back from Magma today. It's perfect. The weld looks great and it works just like it use to. They had to remove some of the paint on the bracket but I don't mind, it's pretty beat up anyway. Did a little test, sized about 50 35863 down to .3555 and the fulcrum bracket didn't move at all. My H&G 251 is .356 so I don't usually notice any resistence when sizing. So they fixed the bracket and I also had the handle collar replaced because it was broke for a total of $62.65 which includes shipping both ways. Sure beats $275 for a new one.

Called Magma and they said just to send it and they can weld it back up. Said it would cost 15-20 bucks. So I'm shipping it out today.

Would I just be better off selling this one for parts and using that money towards a "new" Star?

Well I don't know how it happened but my sizer that I use 50/50 lube in died today. This was my oldest Star. I was lubing up some 38 wad cutters. I hadn't been straining or anything, they were going through fine, putting a lubed one in every 10 or so boolits. I ran out of lube, so I take it apart and put a new stick in, got everything back together, pulled the handle and it spit out a boolit with no lube, ok tighten up the plunger, pull the handle and again no lube. Get to looking and the fulcrum bar isn't even touching the pump plunger. Looking closer, the fulcrum lever bracket is almost cracked all the way down the bracket on the tube. Don't know how it happened. I only use this one for 50/50 and pistol bullets. I was sizing 356 to 3555. Looked at magma website and on the part drawing it says this is a factory only part. Any ideas out there? Any one got a parts sizer they want to part with?
