Star Reloaders / Re: Star - What did I bring home

Looks like a nice find.  Should clean up nicely.

In addition to the reloader, you have an MA Systems Roto-Ease indexer and an MA Systems Eject-Ease finished round ejector.   The manifold is probably for a MA Systems bullet feeder, but I don't see the rest of it in your pictures.

Star Reloaders / Star - What did I bring home
« Last post by Bradhe on June 25, 2023, 07:16:36 pm »
Found a old Star Reloader at the local gunshop.  Don't really need another reloader, but it will be a good winter restoration project.   Falls in to the catagory of things that I really wished I could afford back when these were being made, but now I can relive my youth but with some money...  A little bit of nostalgia loading 45 ACP rounds with 231 and H&G 68s.    (and it was cheap)

Would appreciate any help identifying what I have so I can search the forum intelligently.

Pictures:
1. Here is the reloader in some sort of commercially made base
2. Looks like a Hulme casefeeder
3. Odd pneumatic manifold at the top of the loader.  Maybe for bullet feeder?
4. Not sure what this mechanism is.  Maybe loaded round ejector?
5. Not sure what this goes to?
6. Looks like some sort of pneumatic bullet feeder
7. Extra toolheads
8 . Looks like primer slides and misc parts.  Wonder why he had so many?
9. Misc parts including powder slide
10.  Assorted primer tubes

There is also an MA case collator (but I only get 10 pics)

Thanks for any help you guys might provide.

Star Reloaders / Re: Adjusting case tabs
« Last post by fc60 on June 25, 2023, 12:45:39 pm »
Greetings,

Personally, I rotate the shell plate half way out of index.

The Shell Straps should now point to the index hole in the plate.

Back off the upper set screw about two turns.

Now, tighten the Filister Head screw at the bottom until it just touches the shell plate.

Next, tighten the upper set screw just enough so that the shell plate turns freely.

Gently is the key word here.

Repeat for the other two straps.

Last, insert a shell casing and check for movement and alignment.

Cheers,

Dave

I am in the middle of reassembling my new to me star universal press in 45 acp.

I have forgotten proper technique and do not want to break the tabs.

Could someone please recommend hiw to set the tabs and adjust each screw in the tabs?

If you decide to break the items up I would be interested in the 9 mm head ,dies and shell plate.

Hi Bruce

The washers I'm refering to came with a new sizer/luber purchased in 1956. I'm Guessing there have been a few changes over the Years.

Good Shooting

Hi Bruce
Take a look at the edge of Your Hycar washer with about twenty power magnification, I'm sure You will find a cloth material there like You find in Belting, All that I've delt wth Have this.

Lindy,   The Hycar washers I have are molded, not stamped.  There is no cloth belting.   It wouldn't surprise me if they stamped them out of belting at some point in the past.   As I said earlier, I recall a leather washer on a very old Star lubesizer.

In the pictures I posted above, the two pictures are the top and bottom of the same washers.   You can see how the "rubber" is molded around the metal piece in the center.

I have six star lubrisizers and have never even used one.  Intended to one day cast bullets but still buying those jacketed bullets to load.  Just acquired two of them in the last two weeks all the old time reloaders are dying off and don’t want the things to get discarded.  I also have ten star reloaders which I have collected over the years. 9 mm, 10 mm , 40 s&w 38 super, 38 special, 45 ACP, 44 magnum   Will be one heck of a yard sale when I kick the bucket. Lol.
