Just my two cents worth but I do believe that is why they make neck reamers and turners. If there is a 7 thou difference in the necks then cut them back to factory speck and all should be good i...

I would recommend Lyman Cast Boolits handbook as a great place to start.
FYI casting and swaging are two different processes to produce bullets, and yes, there are many mold shapes and weights for...

Great tutorial! Very similar to the method I learned from an old, when I was young, gunsmith. However, not having WD40, yes, it was a long time ago, his final step was more traditional. He heated the...

+1 on using the digital controller. They are cheep and let you repeat settings accurately or change temperatures by a few degrees at a time accurately, no guessing. I used to use dimmer switches but...

No, the little spring that I have for the lift will not counteract the larger, stiffer spring that withdraws the bullet feeder. However it will hold it up about 3/4 of the way and keep it in place. I...

Ok, back on track. I procured some Johnson's paste wax and tried it for full length sizing 357 mag shells seem to work about as well as my RCBS lube that I got the pad. I then tried it for full...

I quit worrying about what was going to kill me back when they declared that steaks grilled over a charcoal fire were carcinogenic. :veryconfu Figured if I could not enjoy a good, rare (also bad), ...

Excellent, they have one pound tubs of the stuff at the local Home Depo for just under $6! Lot more and a lot cheaper than that Brit stuff everyone is talking about.
thanks

My first was 221 Fireball cases to .17 cal. Mark V for a custom 14" Contender barrel. Made the sizing dies and a outside neck turner myself in the machine shop in college, bet you could not do that...

Wondering if anyone has tried JPW for case sizeing?

Not sure where you are on this but I will stick my two cents worth in anyway. I lube a 125gr Round Flat Nose and have noticed that it is real picky as to the height of the tube. I use a 3 foot tube,...

What a great find![smilie=w: Congratulations, though I would almost have been embarrassed to pay that little for a Star, almost!

Take a look at my thread on mods that I have made to my Star at:

Just wait, you will someday discover that it is not all about speed! [smilie=2:

I Lube/sized bullets for half a century on Lyman 45 and 450 sizers and it never was an issue. However approaching...

I will have to think about that one, never done a video before.

Cast more boolitz of course!

Got it finished, man is this cool!

1.) Heated base consists of a 6 by 8 by three quarter inch aluminum plate, a 100 watt cartridge heater, and PID temperature controller, all courtesy...

WHEE! Dats uno happy boolitz on a roller coaster ride!:bigsmyl2:

Let me guess, with that concoction you are probably powdering those boolitz behinds with Holly Black?

I just bought a brand new Star sizer last month and they had them in stock, however I did have to wait a week to get my bullet feeder. It is a great piece of equipment and well worth the money. If...

Yup, that certainly would work but would require dis-assembly of the sizer to accomplish. Also the larger spring would cost more than the skinny little spring I used if you have to purchase one.
The...

I do have a bullet feeder on order as I plan on adding a cylinder to actuate the ram and I do not have any desire to put my fingers any where near the ram when it punches a bullet through under air...

Problem is my left brain works much faster than my right does so my right hand keeps out running my left, with occasional painful consequences!

[smilie=w:I passed! [smilie=w:

UPDATE 7-15 see post 27 for my version of semiautomatic Star sizer!

After lusting after a Star Lube Sizer for umpteen years I finally broke down and joined the Star club. Within half an hour of...

PM sent for new die.
