Just wondering if anyone is still making star dies or if magma engineering is the only option now. Wanted to use lathesmith but it appears that he is no longer making the dies according to the post in his vendor thread.

Yeah, that's the thread. I haven't PM him about it. Didn't want to bother him if he's done with it. I had a couple made by him a few years ago. Hate to see him stop.
What do you need? I've got a bunch of duplicates.
Hey Devon, got any .224 dies and punches?
Let me check and get back to you. I think I have one, but will have to verify.
Just got my Lyman 55 grain mold. Gonna use it to get rid of birds who keep stealing chicken feed; and the occasional skunk..........
Hi Devon,
A bit late I know but just found your post. I have a star .358 die I was thinking of boring out if that is possible. Happy to exchange for a .452 die if you have one. Jim
