    Attaching Bullet Feeder to Magma Star Sizer

    Gents,

    New owner of a used Magma Star. I have what appears to be a fully assembled bullet feeder for it.

    Problem is I can't figure out how to link it to the Star. There's a piece noted in the manual as AF190(which I do have). Though I read the instruction sheet a few times over, I can't figure out where it goes. Watched a few vids from members but though I get a general idea of what should be happening mid stroke I can't see this assemblage

    I am green here at Boolits but receptive to feedback. Thank you.

    Do you have the magma base heater??

    I should have have been more clear. Yes, the Magma heater. It's attached to it. Also have the small block" that presumably the attachment rests on.

    There is a single bolt that goes thru the feeder and the small block.

    ...embarrassed you beat me to the response.

    the Magma directions were clear. Just have to alternate between the star sizer diagram and bullet feed diagram

    the solution: pull the bullet punch out, insert the part referenced above, and insert punch and lock ring.

    only issue was adjusting the amount bolt length via set screw. Not hard.

    Bullet feed with 44s worked smooth.

    By the way, I just couldn't have made this Star--pkg--purchase without your guys' help. I've never posted but I do appreciate your posts and vids.

    If we can't help each other then we are doomed.
