I just looked at my Star and thought the brass plug is a rather large size. I've owned two of these and have never had to remove the brass plugs. If there are enough threads/roughness, left how about...

Not M-22 but I've had Winchester ammo grow corrosion on the knurling on the bullet and made it impossible to chamber without considerable force.

I have a .503 Magma die.

To the OP, what's the name of your investment firm?

Mine doesn't. Venango County.

This is exactly what I do. I use different alloy for different boolits so leaving lead in the pot would be inconvenient.

I changed my process since I started this thread. I was using my big drill press. There's way too much spring tension to let the chuck retract without tearing out the threads I just made. I drilled...

The carbide size ring broke with my .475 Linebaugh. Andy Lee told me by email it's quite common on big diameter calibers. I sent it in and was replaced. I sold the set and bought a RCBS set and it's...

IMO the maker of dies need not worry about spring-back. I bought from Magma last November a .309 and a .285. Both shipped with a pure lead slug still loosely sticking inside each die. The .309 slug...

I have no experience with Ginex primers. I have owned Contenders since the early '80s and I've never had any kind of primer issues, but never used anything but domestically produced primers. Thank...

I finally figured it out. Lubed .444 case through .375 JDJ size die, then lube case again and through my .358 JDJ size die. I always wiped the outside neck area of the brass clean. Next it goes in my...

No mention of Star lubers and sizing dies.

The fact that it's a 32 Special would remove all doubt about buying it!

Does anyone on here own a TC Contender in .309 JDJ and successfully form their brass? I own barrels and dies in both .375 JDJ and .358 JDJ that I use to step down closer to .309. I've done it before...

My 2 bags are on the way. I'm really surprised there was some left when I ordered.

I got 10 nuts from eBay along with a 1/2 28 tap to clean up the set screw threads after I drilled and tapped for the 8-32 set screws. Some are thicker than others so you don't know until you get...

I loaded and fired 50 of these primers in small primer pocket 45 ACP and they worked just fine.

480-987-9704 I used this number to talk to Eric about fixing a defective Star die.

That's correct. Unless somebody shows up to start making them, us Star owners are left high and dry!

Yes, they're the only primers offered. I need to watch that site close in case large rifle and large pistol primers show up.

In post #10 it's mentioned Norma shipped them by FedEx freight. Sure works for me!

Thanks Jon. I'll definitely be careful to avoid spills. I read somewhere that anvils have been found loose in the trays as well.

Thanks RCB! That's all I needed to know!

I was specifically asking about "Norma USA" and the "Servicios Aventires" small pistol primers.

I thought I read on here that the Argentine made small pistol primers sold by Norma USA were good primers. Try as I might I couldn't find the threads about them. The old saying keeps ringing in my...
