After having the crate containing my Magma Caster and Star lube sizer go missing for 4 days they finally found it and delivered it.
I don’t think I did too badly.
The Magma Caster came with 3 moulds 9mm 125gr, .41 215gr, and .452 230gr.
The Star Lube Sizer came with 6 dies. 355, 356, 357, 358, 411, and 452.
There was also over 40 sticks lube sticks that came with it.
Everything together was below $1200 USD

I think you made a good buy, takes casting your bullets up a notch. :)
Glue sticks? Or lube sticks, I'm guessing?
Hope you live close to me, I'd like to see one working up close. The automated ones are the cats meow.

Thanks for catching that.Quote:

I paid $700 for a like new Master Caster a few years ago, so IMO you made a great deal. Your stuff looks in very good condition.
That's awesome! You got yourself some great gear there for a good price :drinks:
i used to own two of those casters and the luber as well when i was wyoming casting company along with the big auto caster. we loved every single thing magma made they were great to work with ! you my friend made a great deal and you will love them both ! well done !
Anyone have any idea how old this Magma Caster may be?
Serial number is 58.
If you call magma, they could tell you.
I will be calling later this week to make a small order of parts for the lube sizer.Quote:

I think you got a pretty sweet deal too.
I bought my master caster about 2002, WELL used from a guy in canada, it was $400 plus $200 in shipping to .au. It came with a few moulds. I thought the new models were made of cast aluminium? mine is cast iron, didn't have a cooling fan. I cave cast about 800,000 projectiles with it, most after automating it. Even after that much work, there is still no wear in the pivot points, Magma sure did a fine job on these machines.
