Hi,
Looking for a couple parts for my .38 progressive. Mainly I need a #48 Primer slide angle lever. Could also use a #23 Primer slide spring, and #28 Powder slide spring. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone that may be able to help.
Thanks!

Star Reloaders / Re: So why was the Progressive made so long?

Ya Bruce you're right, supersede was not the right word since it didn't really replace the Progressive press.
Also I think I was forgetting how dominate the .38 special was in the day so there must have been enough sales to keep it around.

I read thru much of the history and I'm sure this has been asked, so sorry if my question has been asked and answered before. Why if the Progressive was superseded with the improved Universal did Star continue to offer the .38 Progressive machine apparently at least into the late 70's? The cost difference was never that significant between them and it's hard to imagine the Progressives would sell over the Universal?

That is great! Thanks for sharing. I like when the rookie shows up to the range and is corrected for the way he handed his revolver to the C.O. Safety is #1 Now let me show you where we train you to shoot the cigar out of your partner's face :-)

Star Reloaders / Another new guy with a couple questions
« on: April 04, 2013, 01:20:19 pm »
Hello,
Another new guy with a couple question hoping someone can help me with. I was following up with a member of our shooting club that was handling the estate of an older member that recently passed. He brought a bunch of his acquired stuff to one of our high power matches to sell. I bought an old rcbs Pro-Melt furnace he had. He then told me he still had his "Star Re-Loader" at home yet. I was not familiar with them but decided to go take a look. I ended up with it at a reasonable price mostly because it was a mechanical marvel to me. It's set up for .45 acp so I can put it to use. I am missing a couple small parts. It is missing the #39 safety cam assembly, #35 primer rod follower, and the primer pick up tubes. I am hoping if I provide him pictures of the missing parts they will turn up in the collection yet. My questions are
1. Does the safety cam just keep you from turning the shellplate the wrong way? Do I need it or is it like the safety switch on the lawn mower seat that most everyone does away with?
2. Were all the accessories like auto-indexers, case feeders, bullet feeders, etc. aftermarket items or did Star make some of them?
3. What can be done with the powder reservoir that has had bullseye powder sitting in it for 40+ years so it can be made clear again?
If by the pictures you see anything else missing please let me know. Thanks for any help!
Forgot to add. Please ignore the messy bench. I'd like to say it is not always like that but truth is, it is
