    .355 Star bullet sizer

    Hey Guys
    I’m looking for several Star .355 sizing dies, is Lathesmith still doing them? Does anyone have some new ones for sale?
    TIA,
    Wayne

    I don't think Lathesmith makes them anymore. Magma Engineering does. Not sure if anyone else does.

    How about looking for a 310, 311 or 312 for me while you're out there.

    Another option would be to get sizing bushings from NOE and their adapter that let's you use them with the Star.

    NOE Star Adapter: https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop...or-star-sizer/

    NOE Bushing in 0.355: https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop...-bushing-b355/

    Of course, you still have to find a top punch. When Lathesmith retired from making dies a year or so ago, I think he said at that time he would still make top punches for a bit, so it might be worth a shot contacting him.
