WTB 9mm conversion for 38/357 head

[Tx_USN_1911]

I inherited a Star with a 45 and 357 head-  I want to convert the 357 to 9mm.

Greetings,

You will need the following...

• Shell Plate
• Carbide Sizing Die
• Expander Plug
• Seating Die and matching bullet stem.
• Taper Crimping Die

Once you have all the bits and pieces, just merely adjust the shell straps to suit.

You might find it useful to size the cases on a single stage press beforehand. Being a tapered case, you need to use a little case lube and doing this on the press in one operation gets messy.

Cheers,

Dave

Bruce Willims may have what you need. RBWillNJ on the site.
He is a great resource for everything Star.

Have you found it necessary to lube? Any particulars?

I have a 9mm set up with Carbide dies, and do not lube the case. So far have had no problems.
Using a coated S&S bullet. Needed to adjust for the coating to seat correctly, but have not lubed.

Always open to ideas and suggestions!

I have found that dropping a lubed case into the machine about every 20-25 cases will make it easier to pull the handle.
Cheers.


Good Shooting
