Star Reloaders / New Member - Wondering how to use a star reloader
« on: January 15, 2004, 04:55:26 am »
Good Morning all,
My name is Dean Marley, I currently live in Mountain Home ID.
I inherited my grandfather?s Star (Universal - I believe) Reloader. I have already sent in copies of the price list and instruction sheet for the archives. I feel kind of dumb for asking a question like this... but how does a person use these machines? I grew up reloading on a rock chucker. The machine I inherited is in excellent condition, however I have no idea how to use it and my father really doesn't remember either. Is any one out there willing to explain to me how to use this machine?
If you need to see pic's of the reloader and extra equipment I have. E-mail me and I'll send them to you.
What I do know about it is that my granfather bought it new, with an extra head w/38 spl dies, sizer/lubercator. The head in the machine has 45acp dies in it. The price list is dated 1953. Both powder slide housing bases has an "00" stamp. The lubricator/resizer has two dies for it one for the 38 and one that is for the 45 (.452).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
