OK...I love my Star Sizer....when it is adjusted and running....nothing better. i do 1500--2000 at a time and I love the output and the end product.
HOWEVER I am trying (short of using explosives) to drill out the shot on one of my 358 sizer dies to set it up for a new bullet.
Nothing I can do is working.
I have used the hand drill that you buy from Star.
I have used a power drill.
I have broken 2 #2 drill bits.
I am beginning to think that someone put steel shot in it.
I would surmise that the remnants of the shot is simply spinning around in the hole and not letting me get enough ooomph to drill through it. Push too hard and the drill bit breaks.
I started (by hand) the shot removal with the larger of the 2 drills that Star sells, and the tried to go to the smaller #2....did it by hand, but no go.
Tried the power drill....no go. broke 2 #2 bits.
I am really getting tired of struggling with the Star.
Any suggestions?
