I am about to install a Lee Case Collator to a Star Press
« on: July 24, 2010, 11:08:43 am »
I am about to install a Lee Case Collator to a standard (.38 Special, only) Star Reloading Press. If anyone has done this and has any suggestions I would appreciate any tips you have. I'll have to make some kind of bracket to hold the Lee (the press has the Hulme case feeder attached, so I am good there).

I'll be watching for any help you can offer.

I use Lee Case Feeder/Collators on all three of my Stars.  I have tried a couple different arrangements, and the one pictured below has worked the best.   I use the Lee case feeder for large cases for everything from 32 ACP to 45 Colt, and use the appropriate Hulme top plate for the caliber I'm loading.

rbwillnj;
Your set up sure looks well thought out and a very practical approach to the project. Did you fabricate the bracket yourself?

By the way, thanks for your response and photos. That should help a bunch.
