Chevron case feeder??
« on: March 19, 2009, 06:37:54 pm »
Anyone know anything about this unit?? I can't seem to find anything on the web, and don't know for sure if they are still in business. Wondering about price, and part availablity.
Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill...I have one and it works okay. Rich Daniels in CT , the fellow doing machine work for Star spare parts, will also rebuild these units. I haven't had a need yet but I did contact him pertaining to any help I would need regarding these feeders. I made contact through an old tel# for the company a while back and it directed me to some shooting range out here. That's as far as I got...Pete

Ps: I would think one of those Dillon case feeders could be adapted...they look similar!

Pss: Anybody else got an more info? Bruce, whatta ya know?

I have seen Stars with Dillon Case Feeders attached.   Haven't seen them in action, but don't know why they wouldn't work just fine.   To me, it seems like an expensive solution to a simple problem.   I have adapted Lee case feeders with Lee Colators to all of my Stars.   It's kind of like a Freeloader but with multiple tubes.   I've been thinking of fabricating and selling a unit using the same principals, but made a bit more rugged than the Lee unit.  It works for all calibers as long as you have the proper top plate for your Hulme.

So many projects, so little time.
