Star Reloaders / Re: bring a press back to life

« on: July 28, 2014, 09:47:21 am »

Guys,
        Thanks for the repies!!!  My load is 23.5 grains of 296.  My brother and I just ordered 1000 nosler 240 grain hollow points.  The star will be a great way to get 'em stuffed.

rbwillnj,
        Would you be able to pm me a price on parts I will need?

After I got things cleaned up the main return spring has gotten weak.  The head sags about an inch after the handle is raised.  Are these available also?

My dad had a huge collection of ham radio equipment and parts.  I hope I seperated the star parts out when i found them.  If I did they will be in the loading room he has in the garage.  I won't be able to look for these until next weekend.

Star Reloaders / bring a press back to life

« on: July 27, 2014, 06:16:50 pm »

Hello all,
       I just pulled 2 star presses out of my late fathers reloading room in the house.  1 is setup for 38 special and the other has 44 special dies in it.  I would like to get the 44 press up and running again.  Can I use the dies in the press for magnums?  I am attaching pics.  Am I missing anything?  It looks like there should be a case feeder tube?  I have done some reading on here but I'm a bit confused on the powder charge bar.  I would like to get 1 for the mag load I use.  How do I know what to get?  I've read 1/2", 5/8"?  Are these still produced?  I apologize for the poor pics.

After I pulled the presses out I'm think I had seen a box in the garage with different heads.  I will have to look for these again.
