I apologize for the "non-Star" post about the Potter, but since it is "grew up" in the Star era, I thought it might be interesting to some.

The 41 magnum die was made by member fc60 (Dave).  I had purchased a Potter 41 Magnum seating die from a member of the Antique Reloading Tool Collectors Assoc., and needed a sizing die and shell plate to complete the die set.  Dave took up the challenge, and made a beautiful die for me.  He was very generous with his machining knowledge and commuicated often during the process.

My original thread is here: http://www.starreloaders.com/forum/index.php?topic=1382.0

PS:  If any knows of others who may have full or partial die sets for Potters, Potter parts or presses with an interest to sell, or just to exchange information, please pass this along to them. 

Many Thanks, Jon
