Greetings,

Thanks for the kind words.

Sadly, I do not machine "bottle neck" dies for the Star.

Cheers,

Dave

A suggestion only....Acquire a Phelps Head and have it drilled out
for standard dies (any good brand) 7/8"-14 TPI...You can use a
40 S&W shellplate..........

My nickels worth.....

If your interested, I have a Phelps tool head that has already been drilled and tapped for 7/8-14 dies.
