If you're going to use this in a .45acp, overall length is 1.260 max. With some of the variations of the .45acp pistols, it's best to seat to 1.250 because in some cases, the Para_ord mags need them...

Know of someone that's refurbishing Star equipment. Does nice work. I've got a lube sizer and have ordered a Universal.

Seems someone's once again trying to restart Star... but no word yet and...

Doesn't matter if it's once fired or not. If you tumble it right (I use SS for rifle brass) and then anneal it properly, the "marks" are back. I tumble pistol in Corn cob with no additives, SS for...

Or you can use a hair dryer with easy off. For commercial products: whitings.

Regardless of the fact it worked for you, it's a dangerous practice to fire ammo with the flash hole blocked by media.

We do it differently, Pistol is easy.. but rifle you can deprime, tumble (for me in SS media) and then I come back and size after I uniform the flash hole and primer pocket (but I shoot LONG...

I have an ultrasound cleaner I use for gun parts, I won't do brass in it because I don't like chemical residuals on my brass. Crushed Walnut has been used for Decades, but the problem with it is...

Just wrote an article for Sinclair's on this one. Since one of the guys that developed SS media is a friend, we listed everything you need to know and watch out for when using SS media. I just cycled...

Problem with this one is if you buy this media packaged commercially, it often has things like Jewelers rouge in it You really don't want that going down the bore of a weapon. If will lap the bore.

[QUOTE=gray wolf;2146876]A well tuned 1911 should put empty cases 6 to 8 feet away from the shooter to the rear right.
The angle of the ejected rounds is controlled by the angle on the face on the...

Try shooting IDPA. Always best to see if you can place your shots under pressure. It's why I loved IPSC in it's early days when Cooper was still involved. I've watched some of the current 3 gun...

try 231. We tried a lot of things back in the day. 231 always produced the best results out of a 1911.

Light load for practice: 4.7, Hardball equivalent: 5.8

Some of the folks have moved to...

[QUOTE=Sax.45;2153184]35 renington, exellent post. I agree. The damage done is usually the slidestop being battered, and the feet of the barrel, they weren't designed to take the extra battering from...

Simple, depends on the way the pistol was made. Back in the early days of IPSC, we all used 70 series Colts and they got heavily modified. Due to the progression of shooting with 1911s over the...

If you do it the old TAR way, the it was good enough to kill Quail at 7 yards.

I'd have to try and find this one, but C.E. Harris did an article in "The American Rifleman" about this a long time ago. They did cycle and function properly although he's normally a wheelgunner. It...

With .45acp. an H&G #68 cast bullet (Lasercast and several people make these) is a SWC, basically 200 grains (actual weight varies a bit).

Since we're been using this since the 70's. youcan either...

Let us know how it goes, I do have a source for refurbished Star products and since i've bought a lube/sizer from him. What I got was darn near new and I just ordered another Universal.

Considering the fact that Star went under years ago, not a surprise at all. Good used ones are hard to find.

Star went out of business years ago. It was restarted once and shut down and there's a possibility that someone is starting it up again. But finding a good Star is not easy, since most are used and...
