I have the star. The only thing that slows me down is reloading the lube. I don't seen a need to powder coat.
Dfk, info please bc I need to make mostly 1/4, 3/8 oz jig heads for the 3.5" h&h cacahoes or similar plastics and the 4" queen size cacahoes. That mustard hook looks very promising.

I use .459 for both of my marlins and all my buddies single shot NEFs for primitive this year.
First mold was a two cavity 405 gr 45-70 aluminum mold. Second was a pair of Lyman 9mm 147 gr iron molds. I liked how iron casts so much I ordered another iron 45-70 mold.

Sized and lubed 1k 45-70 rounds with 50/50 mix. No problems. Haven't tried harder lubes but I can see how getting the pressure and heat right could be frustrating.
