Look what I just got. Old Star 38 spc press.

Now that certainly looks cool! :D

They are excellent machines and nearly impossible to wear out. It looks good. Do you have the powder hopper?

[starreloader]

I have a couple of extra powder hoppers, OO powder bars and an extra OO powder slide housing..

Very nice! I love both of mine. I have one set up for 45 acp and one for 38 special. If you need parts for it let me know as I know a guy that makes/sells parts for Stars. He has refurbished one for me and provided some extra parts. He is a great guy to deal with. In fact I think he sells powder hoppers. He turns them himself. Good luck and enjoy. BTW, I have a few star videos on Youtube showing the basic operation.

That's a nice machine. Hope to find one myself someday.

Does anyone have a nice youtube video of one of these things in operation? I've always been interested in one, but just never had a chance to pick one up.

Dave here's one with all the extras http://youtu.be/4bd1zWFZvZs one of these days I'll get around to hooking up the M/A systems bullet feeders to mine

Man, that guy does have it set up whizbang doesn't he? That's a regular full blown production machine the way he has it going. Pretty quiet too. With all the brass, cast iron and steel, if you kept it cleaned, lubed and monitored the adjustments, you could build a LOT of rounds without ever wearing much of anything out.

Once asked Bill Cunningham who sells Star parts what spares parts I should buy and keep on hand,,, He's response was none , get back to him at 2 million rounds and see about a rebuild

These look like great presses but I wonder how hard it is to find the brass charge bars.

[IllinoisCoyoteHunter]

I think hornady still makes them.

Edit... sorry they make thr bushings. If you can't find any on here contact me and I will let you know who may have some.
