Trying to get my “new” Star going. Using White Label CR...105* working temp...with warmer(no thermostat)
I can’t get this thing to work right!!! I THOUGHT it would be much neater/ cleaner than my old RCBS, but I got lube all over the place. Actually much messier. If I get the lube groove to fill, there’s lube all over the nose(.45 220g round nose, single groove)
I’ve tried everything I can think of. Varying temp, pressure, adjusted the plunger at least 2 dozen times, took die out(ruined the upper O ring), cleaned, remeasured EVERYTHING, and started over, checked hole alignment with lube groove....I mean, ***?! I have never had this much trouble with...ANYTHING!!! I literally used a full stick of lube working on this.
Am I wrong to expect this piece of equipment to be cleaner and work better than the older method?
Help me. I’m a dork!
