Star Lubricator & Resizers / STAR VS RCBS HEATED BASE

« Last post by Calamity.James on December 17, 2024, 09:32:41 am »

I have an RCBS heated base which I use with a SAECO lube/sizer.  About a year ago I was able to buy a Star Lube/Sizer to replace the one I had sold a few years ago.  I'm trying to get a Star Bullet Feeder and thought I'd also try to get a Star Heater Base.  I'm aware the RCBS has the hole pattern for the Star Sizer but doesn't seem to have the fourth hole for the mounting block for the feeder.  Can the Star Sizer AND Bullet Feeder be mounted to the RCBS heater?  For those of you who have both a Star heater and an RCBS heater, does the Star heater offer features NOT found on the RCBS heater?  Do you prefer one over the other?

Thanks, Scott.  I already own one of the RCBS heaters which I use with my SAECO luber.  I'm pretty sure the RCBS doesn't have a hole for mounting the mounting block for the Star bullet feeder, it just has the three holes to mount the sizer and not the fourth hole for the mounting block.  So, I thought I'd try to find a used Star heated base to use with my Star lube/sizer.

The RCBS Lube-A-Matic (LAM) Heater has the Star greaser bolt pattern on it. Look at page 7 in link below.

Have you sold the bullet feeder?  I'd be very interested in buying it from you.

Correct Bruce. My confusion on brand.
Thinking of one and wrote the other.

Thanks for the correction.

Bruce
Green paint on a Star?
Thought that was a Phelps thing.

You might be thinking of CPM.  I have never seen a Phelps in anything but blue.
