Hello I purchased a Star sizer from a friend, he only loaded one type of bullet so only needed one sizer die. My question is how do I remove the sizer die, It has a set screw on the side which I removed and I tried to pry up the die but without any luck. I don't want to screw anything up! Also where can I get a manual for the sizer?
THANKS!!
If you don't have the die puller, buy one......or
Heat the die area up with a hair dryer/heat gun, and use the appropriate size wooden dowel to drive the die up from the bottom.

There is a tool that comes with the Star for die removal. The top punch is removed and one end of the tool screws in the same hole that the top punch came out of. There is an all thread rod that screws into the piece that replaced the top punch. The ram is then lowered and a plug is screwed onto the all thread rod below the die. Raise the handle and the die comes out.
I’ve read a thread somewhere here a while back on an improvised way of removing the dies.

Get in touch with Magma and they will sell you the tool and manual. It's better to have the correct tool.
