    I had never even heard of them until I came on this forum. Makes the old Lyman look like a model 'T' next to a Ferrari. I can see why you guys rave about them.

    I love mine! I am really glad that company picked up the line after Star when out of business.

    I know of a guy Westerville, Ohio, who has pneumatics hooked up to his and do everything twice as fast.

    After seeing this video I called and ordered one. The lady who took my order was super nice. This thing is really nice not to mention super fast. The manual likes a little to be desired, but other than that it is a top notch piece of equipment. Quite a bit more expensive than the other units, but well worth the extra money.

    Freakshow10mm, they should give you a comission for all the sales they make off this video!!

    Once you have gone Star, you can't go back. How many people actually have seen a Star Sizer on the used market compared to other units?

    I just got one off of Evilbay. With shipping, I was only saving $50 over the cost of a new one, but it's $50 I can put toward more components!

    Gonna clean it up this weekend and give it a go!

    I just watched the video. How much is a Star luber/sizer and what is the companies phone number, if anybody has it handy. Thanks.

    I bought mine about 15 maybe 20 years ago from a guy that had 3 for sale, he was having a hard time selling them. I paid $130 for it with a 452 die. Prolly should bought all three of them. I never used it much, always getting a glob of lube on the bullet nose and was never able to correct it. Recently I decided to pay some attention to it and work out the problem, thanks to this forum I have worked it out and am now getting great results. Just made up a die for the 360-180 Group buy bullet and it works great, except for one measly little thousandth, I was shootin for .360 and got .361. Oh well I can make another.

    Hey,that was a neat video.I already have 10 lubrasizers but after seeing that demo I think I could find room on the floor for one more.I have 9 Lyman and one Cramer.I bought them used of course. I hate to change sizing dies .I was lucky to buy some dedicated casters life time collection of sizing dies. I have no idea how many of those I have. I have made them for the Cramer but it is a pain.

    too cool for words! I bought one from a friend who was strapped for cash, and have not set it up yet. I use a lot of semi-spitzer rifle bullets, anybody tried them yet?

    Works great, with rifle boolits, just make sure the grooves are lined up with die lube groove. With harder lubes the heater is a MUST.
