Star Reloaders / Re: Help identifying Seater Dies

« on: March 17, 2020, 06:33:41 pm »

I have 16 each  38 cal. seater dies in My spares, I found 6 that were obviously machined different from each other.
I believe these are all manufactured by star.

It is called "Powder measure spout" in the parts manual. And has a note following the nomenclature that says (Specify Caliber). Hopefully someone on the forum has a list of the different sizes and will share that info with You.

Greetings
Taper crimp dies should adjust up or down to obtain the crimp You desire. I would Screw the die an eighth of an inch or so counter clockwise,  then try crimping again, keep doing this until You get the crimp You want. Good luck

Star Lubricator & Resizers / Re: Cannot get properly lubed bullets

« on: July 30, 2019, 12:23:13 am »

You Prob. know this but the "high pressure" to the sizing die is supplied by Pump plunger piston (S124)  and not the reservoir spring (S129), the res. spring only supplies lube to the
piston and cylinder located in the base of the unit. The piston must make a full stroke to supply lube to the Die. The only adjustments for this is the bolt (S114).
Take a look in this area and make sure that the piston (S124) is being pushed all the way out by spring (S125) with the operating  handle all the way up. if not, the piston could be binding
in the cylinder.
Hoping You find the prob. soon, These really are great little machines.

I did not fab the part in the picture but home made something very similar.  It allows removing a case for reasons such as dents, splits or for other things that require their removal and allows for replacing the removed case if needed.

I have used the MA system roto ease but found that the "Moon Indexer" is a much better indexer by far.
May I suggest You take a look at it.

Bob
I no longer possess an "Eject Ease" or a "Roto Ease" but do have the manuals for both. Send me Your Home Address By Email and I'll mail You a copy.
Don't know if they will help much as there is not much info in them but a few drawings and pic's.
