Reloading on the Star Universal Video

[IllinoisCoyoteHunter]

Made a short video of my Star Universal set up for 45 ACP. These presses are such a pleasure to use!

ICH, You need to open up the video access. It is currently restricted to invite only. Thanks.

Link doesn't work for me. What's the video title so I can search for it?

Star Universal Reloading Press

[44Vaquero]

Yup, Works now! Nice machine, operates beautifully. Like to see more of the case feeder.

What good fun. I really enjoyed your video tonight. It's a lot of fun to see something like this in action.

It's a beautiful set of presses. You should be very proud.

[IllinoisCoyoteHunter]

I will get another video up showcasing the casefeeder. It is very simple but flat out works! Thanks!

[Mike Kerr]

Thanks for posting the video. It was a pleasure to watch. I hope you post more videos regarding the primer and case feeder set up (operation). Of course your time is important but if you can find some spare time I know additional videos would be well received.

[IllinoisCoyoteHunter]

No problem Mike! More videos to come.

Uploaded a couple quick videos on the Star. Check em out! Pay no attention to the dust that has settled on my press. I have been doing some construction in my basement and didn't realize that it was that dusty!

Thanks for taking the time to make the extra video's. What an excellent, well thought out machine. They must have cost a fortune back in the day?

[Mike Kerr]

+ 1 on what 44Vaquero said. I recognize it takes you time to do the video's. I was also impressed with the engineering features on the press. I own Dillon's 450's and 550's and since I am a non recovering press junkie I have had multiple Lee Pro 1000's; 2 Lee load masters; and others but I had not seen the Star presses in action -only still pictures. Now I know there are multiple Star videos on You Tube. Thanks.

Your presentation in your videos is easy to watch because you keep it straight forward. That is a blessing. I will go back to your You Tube videos again.

I forgot to say that the Star Engineering features plus the materials utilized were bound to make the units pricey back in the day.

Thanks for sharing those videos. -- I have a pre-1968 Star Universal set up for 38 DEWCs. Its a load I use only in my S&W 52-2. Right now I have Dillon 1050s for my 45 and 9mm reloading, but when the day comes to slow down, I will probably replace the 1050s with Stars.

Have you ever thought of using a Moon indexer and case kicker? I use one and like it very much. It takes a little time to adjust, but once its set, it runs and smooth and as slick as the press! I chose not to use the case kicker with mine, because I didn't want a completely automated process...plus, without the kicker it slows things down enough so that I don't make mistakes.

No I have never used those 2 accessories. I would be interested though. Where can I find them? Thanks!!!
