    Now that I powder coat I needed several made in a shorter length without lube holes and I got in under the wire and had a few made. I wish someone had answered your Q
    Regards,

    Hello all, as many of you know, I specialize in making dies for the Star, Magma Star, and Ballisti-cast bullet sizing machines. You get what I consider to be a good value in die making--at a reasonable price! Currently, I offer the standard factory flange-style dies, these run $. Shipping is $ for the first die, +$ for each additional die. These dies are hardened to better than 50+Rockwell. I have a "standard" lube hole design, that consists of 3 rows of holes spaced .125 or so apart, with the first row approximately .750 from the top of the die. If you want or need something different, just send me a message and we can discuss your needs.

    I also make punches for the Star; the regular flat punch runs $ and a "dished" punch runs $. Plain punch nuts are $ each, and the punch nuts with setscrews are $. These ship free if purchased with your dies. One more item I also offer for the Star: a roller L-handle. These run $ each shipped.
    Update: I now offer punches and punch nuts with setscrews for the Ballisti-cast MK VI sizer. The punches are the same price as listed above for the Star. The punch nuts with setscrews are $ each, or $.
    Your dies normally ship about a week after I receive your payment; check or money order for payment is fine. If you wish to order or have questions about your Star die and punch needs, just send me a PM or email and I'll do my best to fix you up! I'll be adding and updating this listing in the next several days; thanks to all of you here at the forums for making this possible, with a special thanks to Ken.
    Good shooting,
    Chris
    I’ve been away from the sport for a while due to death of the shooter I cast for but dropped back in. Sorry to hear you’ve given this up but wish you a happy retirement from it.

    Your dies were and continue to be top notch. I have a feeling the eBay will be very competitive . I will not be letting mine go though.
