Hit the press jackpot
I traded a friend of mine 500 rds of 45acp 230 grain hollow points. In return i recieved 2 MEC presses 2 RCBS single stage presses 1 Brown Bair H press and the best....1 Star Universal press and 1 Star lube sizer. My question ... do they still make dies for that Star lube sizer ?.... it only had 2 dies one .358 and one .3565.
Any help would be welcome Last edited by Old 454; November 4, 2017 at 10:42 AM. |

Star is out of business. Magma Engineering makes dies for them now.

Good god, man. Jackpot is correct!
If he wasn't a friend, I'd say you stole most of that. There are several guys on the castboolits forums that make custom dies for Star/Magma sizers. They're usually cheaper than Magma's prices, and you can customize to your heart's content: diameter, lube hole locations, spacing, number, etc.

Lolol also forgot to include 2 Lyman Mould Master model 61 lead pots.
Cleaned ine of them up and it works like a champ. And there was about 9lbs of good lead in that one |
