For those of us that either weren't around or weren't paying attention, what year did the Star stop being produced and sold at retail and what was the last retail price?

Why not just PC first and size after they are coated?

I like it and would buy one for a NOE 5 cavity that I have.

Thanks for the update!

I was one of the ones advocating for the Rock Chucker, glad to hear you agreed!

Why don't other mold makers (besides MP) use the Lee style sprue plate with cutter. It is so quick and easy to cut the sprue without needing a mallet. Lee's patent must have run out by now, just like...

The newer challengers have a steel linkage for the ram. The old ones have die cast aluminum. I'm not sure of your intended use, especially if you are looking at an Inline Fab Ultramount, but heavy...

I guess I'll be the lone dissenter. The RCBS JR presses are great old presses, but they are intended for pistol or small rifle cases. An RCBS rock chucker would be more suitable for your intended...

While I am a big fan of auto index/advance whether it's a Lee Classic Turret or the SDB from Dillon, a 550 is a solid press.

Congratulations!

Another vote for the Lee Auto Drum, it is made to work with the Lee Classic Turret press.

Although the Uniflow can be made to work with the added linkage, it is much more expensive and in my...

Out of those choices, I'd recommend the Lee classic turret. It can be used as a progressive or as a single stage. A very handy and versatile press, with inexpensive turrets that can be swapped out...

Is no one using the Auto Prime feature of the Rock Chucker? Most of the pictures don't show it mounted.

It's a simple setup that works well.

My opinion is the Lee Classic Cast turret can't be beat for the price range it sells in. Is a Dillon Square Deal faster, higher quality press and warranty? Absolutely, but at Triple the price.

It's the Rock Chucker #1.

The Rock Chucker #2 was marked RC-2, and had a ball handle instead of the bicycle handle.

Depending on how much you are looking to spend, I'm very satisfied with the Lee Auto Drum measure. It seems to be head and shoulders above the Auto Disk measures.

In addition, are you using this...

In my opinion, For the average pistol reloader on a single stage or Lee Classic Turret, Hornady seem like the best bang for the buck. The seating sleeve in the Hornady dies is a nice feature that is...

Believe it or not, I've had great luck with a set of Ryobi impact rated bits. They are about half the price of Milwaukee and haven't let me down.

Now-a-days, almost all made in China, even the...

How long has she had it? The first batch of Glock 42's were recalled, but those were from 2014. What are the first few letters of the serial? If those letters start with AA, it may be under a recall....

They do make replacement silicon gel ear cups for the Howard Leight Impact Sports.

They work great, but Unfortunately they cost as much as the ear muffs!

I also placed an order on the 3rd and received it on 7/9

My mold was shown as in stock when I ordered.

As has been previously mentioned by others, No issues with the new Lee 6 cavities over here. I can't speak to the older Lee molds

To me, the new Lee 6 cav with the steel alignment pins/sockets,...

It depends on your area and the amount of work you are willing to put into it.
