My magma, will be here maybe in 30 days. Been using lee and sizing before lube with alox. I hate alox. Causes cancer if ya live in LA.

I use to lube-size-lube, No need IMO. Just size-lube. Yea, die is clean inside, brush it out once a while.

What lube do you plan on using? Hard lubes will require some heat, some of the soft lubes not so much. The air cylinder is a convenience item. I too have a Star on the way soon, ordered the heater, skipped the cylinder until later. My order date was Feb. 20, but also have a Master Caster, several molds, and several options with the sizer.

I have a Star with the heater and the air setup. Got tired of turning that crank when trying to get stuff set up right. I would highly recommend getting the heater and the air pressure cylinder. They both make the journey so pleasant.. Mike

Get a 1\2" peice of aluminum what ever size you need and make your own heater, My friend owns a shop where there are some left overs once in a great while, I got a peice ordered a heating element from ebay 6 dollars shipped. Hook it to a light dimmer switch and you have a heated base, Mine cost roughly $20.00 to make. The air cylinder is an excellent add on, I saw where guys here made there own, Some used air cylinders from Grainger supply and put them together. Good luck with the star.
