Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
i just use a piece of dowel rod and push the die up from the bottom. A little heat from a hair dryer where the die is held can help get it loose.
Ditto on lathesmith. Look in the stickies in the Star section.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
You might check the thread or sticky on star sizers for all your $tar needs.
I suppose it might be hard for some to find the " The Star Equipment Corner" that is a sub forum of casting equipment thread. After all it is well hidden right at the top of that form

The early model star lubers had a set screw for the die it was done away with on the later models there is a thread on this site which will confirm my statement about star machines especially the early models which incorporated bronze in the machine.
I did not know. Mine is a Magma branded one.
I knew. I looked for preowned but there was a bump in demand 4 years ago and I waited a couple months for a new one. Now you can't even get on the list.

Lathesmith makes quality stuff. I have one of his die removal tools along with a few dies. Buy with confidence.
