    I make my own caps too, but it takes me at least an hour to make 50. So even at this price that's like working for $7/hour. My time is worth more than that.

    Yes, it's not working right now, but I've done some more modifications. Maybe a custom ball mould is needed. I haven't given up. I really just want...

    The Star sizer is the best in the business. I'm very happy I have mine. It's built well so parts shouldn't be an issue. It does use some off the shelf rubber rings that I was able to buy on Amazon.

    I use 40 S&W brass that has no other good use. I press in a few 36cal pure lead boolits so I have good weight and density. I do have some brass balls, but they are very expensive. The 40 brass is...
