Just want to confirm that it is .150" as I need to order a sizing die? Another question:
Is .150" spacing common as all my other molds have .125" lube groove spacing?

Forgive me, what does lube groove spacing have to do with a sizing die?

I think the OP might have a Star? I remember reading that you have to match the lube spacing to the die? also using lead shot to plug some lube holes.

I don't own a Star so maybe someone that does can chime in.

A lot. I have a Star and I have to give Lathesmith the correct spacing for the lube grooves when I order a sizing/lube die.
