Star Reloaders / Husband and I reload on old Star Progressive...
« on: October 18, 2003, 04:00:06 pm »
I shoot a S&W K38 Masterpiece and husband shoots S&W Model 52. We are both shooting the same caliber so we are able to do budget reloads on an old Star progressive. My husband keeps it cleaned and oiled regularly and only replaced a few broken springs after years and 25 thousand rounds have passed through.
Our guns and reloading equipment will last longer than both of us. We provided for them as part of our will so that they do not get sold off on eBay to someone that doesn't know the first thing about them. Sad state of affairs. Find someone that is interested and set them up right! Make sure your shooting and reloading equipment is safe. It is all we may do to be responsible and influence the next generation.
Reloading on the Star goes faster when we both take turns pulling the handle. We use the same components but my husband says to keep what each of us reloads separate. He says it is important but I am not sure why? He shoots better and more often, so I do what he says. Does anyone else do this?
It is wonderful that we share this activity together. It is tiring to sit down in the basement and do it by yourself for an hour or two.
We'll both watch for interesting bits.
