Star Lubricator & Resizers / Can a Hulme case feed tube be fabricated from aftermarket parts?

Where can I find something for a .38 special?  Where can I buy a tube or make something that will work.

I got a .38 progressive with new dies for $300 off ebay.   The sizers have doubled in price the last year and a half.  I remember the time, I thought a guy was nuts for wanting $75 for one.  I wish I could go back in time.

What powders are you interested in?
I made up an Excell spreadsheet to calculate theoretical dwop weights.
I clarify this because the Lee chart is a little on the lite side.
So sometimes the actual weight can be off a tenth.

If you could email it to me, I will take a look at it.  I am going to use Bullseye.  Where in WNY are you at?  I was born and raised in Niagara Falls.

You don't own any powder?   It doesn't matter which powder you use, but you need to determine the volume of the hole in your powder slide.  You can do that by throwing some charges of any powder and finding them on the Lee chart.   If you can't do that, you can determing the volume of the hole by measuring the diameter of the hole, and using the data from one of my earlier posts  http://www.starreloaders.com/forum/index.php/topic,253.0.html   Volume of a cylinder = 3.1415 X (radius) squared X Height.  Measure the diameter of the hole on both the top and bottom of the slide and take the average.   The holes are ususally tapered.

As a side note, 2.7 BE is the classic load for a 148 grain 38 Special Hollow Base Wadcutter.   If the powder slide has not been modified you should be able to use it for that load.

I have been reloading since 1977 when I was in the 7th grade.  I do not own any powder at this time, I moved from the People's Democratic Republic of NY to Nevada, all of my stuff is in storage.  I bought a STAR off ebay because I could not conrol myself any longer.  I have a Dillon 1050 in NY, and boxes of molds, a foot locker full of powder, but I wanted to get loading here in Vegas before I go back to NY in June to pick up my reloading factory and antique Harley police bike.  That is why I do not have powder.
