Stars Want to Sell/Want to Buy / Star Reloader Value

« Last post by allenlucas on June 21, 2025, 01:15:30 pm »

I am going through the estate of a family member.  I found a box from Star Manufacturing that contained a Star Reloader, unused as far as I can tell.  I removed from the box and it seems to be operable as far as I can tell.  A .38 shell seems to fit in the plate so assume it is configured for .38.  Is there a way to confirm?

also seems to have a couple tubes for reloading primers?

Original packing had the reload tubes wrapped in newspaper from 1987, so feel this may be an indicator of the date purchased.

We are looking to try to determine the value before the estate tries to find a buyer, either on this forum or through private connections.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Hope to attach a few pics from my phone

Star Reloaders / Re: 3D printing

I don't have a file to share but a case feeder would be completely doable 3d printing.

I machined one once and understand why they cost $250

A cheap stand in would encourage me to buy a few for presses that lack them.

I bought 50cm long acrylic tubes with 14mm ID and 18mm OD on AliExpress. They work beautifully.

If you are loading 41 Magnum or smaller cartridges, you can use polycarbonate tube with an OD of 5/8" and an ID of 1/2".  I purchase it from McMaster Carr in 8ft lengths.
McMaster part#   8585K106.  You can probably get it from any plastic supplier.   If you want to load 44 Magnum, 45 Colt of 45 AR it's more complicated.  You can buy acrylic tube with an ID of 14MM and an OD of 18mm, but I have only been able to find it in 1ft or shorter lengths.   It's on Amazon.

I have not been able to find anything equivalent to the original Hulme tube.  Maybe someone else has had better luck.

Where do you find the clear tubes for the Hume case feeder?  The few that I have are cracking and getting shorter.  I've been looking on Amazon and the Internet but not finding exactly what we need.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Maybe more detail. Suggest you list the shell plate calibers, and also the maker of the dies. Are they all Star, lifetime, Star thread or have the heads been drilled to 7/14?
Price seems reasonable for the lot.
