How hard is it to gauge/ get constant pressure with the handle only? There is no pressure gauge.
Will be used to lube 9mm bullets with just one groove. 2500+ lube.
How hard is it to use without the bullet feeder?
With the exchange rate costing me x1.33, and the expensive shipping for the usa, +tax , a fully loaded star is 1300$ or so for me. That's a little expensive considering I usually shoot 2-4000 bullets per year.
(Well I didn't shoot much lately because we had a newborn at home).
I wonder how just the basic star would work with 2500+ VS a fully loaded one. The bulletfeeder+air add 350$ CAD to my order (500$+tax if I add the heated base also) and I just question if that's really needed to lube 2-4k a year.
The base star+die+handle would cost me 630$ including taxes and shipping, and I'm starting to think that that's already a lot of money...
