I have other kinks I have to work out with my Star first...but once they have been ironed out, a homemade collator for the feeder would be awesome.

I think with a little tinkering a person could make a boolit feeder at home too.

I was just on the Magma Engineering website this morning. They want $680 for that MA collator.

That's just nuts!

I know K.I.S.S. or Mr. Bullet, now, makes a bullet feeder/collator for the Dillon 650 and 1050.

I wonder how well that would work on the Star too.

It's got to be cheaper than the MA collator.

Hello Russel,
I have made the first part of a bullet feeder to my star. I posted a video:

It is far from finished. I have all the parts for a collator, but have still to figure out how to get the bullets down the tube nose first. If someone has a good idea about that, please tell me.
As for now, my girlfriend feeds the tube with bullets while I operate the press :)

Russel your right $680 plus shipping is a chunk BUT it also allows you to run just as fast as you can work the handle and when you sit down with 600 pounds of boolits that makes it nice. Andy a collator will really pick up your pace
Someplace I've got links to a home made collator that I'll post when I find it

My bad it was a case feeder collator for $10 if anyones interested http://tinyurl.com/y9cg6pn
