What about dies, is there someone who makes dies for the Star sizers?

How about mounting holes, are there only 4 mounting holes pre-drilled, if any at all? Instead of having the handle pointing forward or 90 degrees to the side, I prefer to mount my stars with the handle at about a 45 degree angle.

What about a 5/8" adjustable powder slide? I believe mine will go up to at least 22 grains of N110, and it's less dense than 2400.

I would be interested in such a review. I ordered the largest blank plate from Dan and I made my own. They don't have holes for the primer drop, only for the 4 mounting holes. They work very well, but if Dan makes some that are tailored for the Stars, I might look into them. Especially if the plates are cut round, like the base of the Stars.

Ebay has clear acrylic tubes that will work, that's where I got mine. For .44 Magnum/.45 Colt etc. I use tubes with 18mm OD and 14mm ID.

I didn't know Inline made mounting plates for the Star, I can't find them on the website. It looks really neat.

Bruce,
I got it sorted out. I tried from another computer on the same network, and I could access the site. Very strange. I deleted all my browser data, and now I can luckily access the site again without using a US proxy.

I get a message that my user is banned. Did the forum block foreign IP addresses? When not logged in, I get a message that my user (Guest) is banned too.

Star Reloaders / Re: Two additional accessories for a Star - what are they?

« on: January 01, 2022, 05:29:07 pm »

Thank you very much.  I thought about the possibility that they were part of the accompanying Luber/Sizer but didn't see any info on that one either.

Very much appreciate your reply.

EDIT:  Now I see it :  the 5101 die extractor pieces.  The bullet remover was threaded in the wrong way.

I am very happy to help!

They are the parts in a die extractor for a Star sizer.

A forum member here made one for me a while back, and it works beautifully. I have not experienced that the powder drops change over time.
I might be interested in a couple more if you decide to make extras.
