I get on regularly and see less and less posts.
Hope its not a sign!

Bruce;
I do not think you are monopolizing  when the correct info is posted1

I do wonder if all the "online" are actually real visitors. Sometimes the numbers seem high!

At the bottom of the Home Page, you can see how many were online today.   At this moment it says 477, so lots of folks are visiting, just not many posting.   I would encourage anyone who has questions of interesting tidbits to go ahead and post them.   I try to hold back because I don't want to be that guy who jumps in and answers every question.   Every forum has one and I think it discourages participation.   I'm here if you need me.

Greetings,

The Phelps heads will fit on a Star, although a sloppy fit.

The Star heads will likely not fit on a Phelps. The hole is too small.

Phelps shell plates will fit on a Star, again, a sloppy fit.

Fairly certain Star plates will not fit onto a Phelps.

Might put the Phelps on eBay and stick with all Star machines.

Cheers,

Dave

Star Reloaders / Phelps reloader

I just purchased three reloading machines two star universals and the third was a Phelps. Don’t know much about the Phelps reloading machine  how do they compare to the stars and are all parts interchangeable.   I have fifteen stars now just can’t pass up good deals when I see them.

They are a standard 1/2" ball bearing, you can probably find them in a good hardware store.   if not, I have them in stock.   I often find them rusted on the machines I rebuild so I replace all of them.
