Ole Brown stopped by today with my new Star/Magma bullet feeder, just a box of goodies, no instructions. I looked and studied the parts and figured it out. Out to the garage and did the assembly, even adapted a Lee case feeder, now i've got 4 tubes of bullets feeding the luber, took abit of adjusting but all came out really great, loaded the 4 tubes, little over a 100, took less than 4 minutes to empty them, Man am I pumped. Now if I can just train Gus, (woof woof) Gus to fill the tubes for me while i'm stroking that handle we'll turn out a good quanity of bullets in a no time. Just had to share this with all you fine folks, mostly because you all got me started into the casting bit. Thanks for all you do.

Glad you are having so much fun. hehe.
Are you going to make the September Fairgrounds show? I plan on trying, don't know yet, of course it all depends on what my wife has cooked up for me to do.

Hi Ken, Don't know at this time, some family issues have come up, one that we all know is going to happen but are never prepared. If I do would sure be good to chat with you again. Dave & Gus

some plumbing supply stores carry clear plastic tubing in 10' long sections that make 3 tubes each with some cotter keys.
they come in handy sizes like 3/8th and half inch.
duct tape the ends before cutting, leave the tape on and drill a hole, and still leave the tape on, then do the other end if necessary.
i have 20 sumthin in each size and fill them then lube away.
or just pick the boolits up and drop in the short metal tube as i go, if only doing a few hundred.

Thanks for the heads up, I know i'll be needing more tubes. 4 on the feeder and 7 standbys, not enough.
