I have several older Star .38 Special steel resizing dies that probably were part of a Star Progressive tooling. Apparently "Star" offered a couple of different configurations (threads and depth of stem) on their decapping stems. I am seeking a usable original, if available. I believe I could turn "an adaptor" that would utalize either a Lyman or a current RCBS decapping stem assembly -- but an original would be "nice". Thanks for any information and offer.
3-11-2013: I got the decapping stems and an explaination: Apparently the older Star steel resizing dies and the Phelps dies had similar, but dimentionally different patterns. The two did not fully interechange; "problem solved" and knowledge "acquired" for future reference. Thanks/Brad
