    Die size for .50 Beowulf

    For anyone casting, powder coating and are using a Star sizer, where did you get your size die and what diameter did you get?
    Regards,

    Gary

    Since Lathesmith retired, our only source of Star dies is Magma Engineering. Recently I ordered 2 dies, 2 punches and 2 jamb nuts that were shipped within a week. I talked with a man on the phone the first call I made. Prices are a bit higher than what Lathesmith charged.

    I use an adapter for my Star so I can use the NOE sizing bushings in my Star when sizing PC or HiTek coated bullets. Usually for the larger .458-.501 bullets I just use the NOE sizing kit for my single stage as it has more leverage, and I don't want to bends/break my Star. I like using my Star when sizing smaller pistol bullets 9/38/40/45 as I can size the larger quantities quicker.
