Sir,
Got the dies and punches I orderd in the mail today....they look GREAT...cant wait to get them in the Star and make some magic.....will be ordering a few more her soon....thanks again!
Chris can also make other items that we need as evidenced by some of the others that have posted here. He made an oversized lube plunger for my Star that had a worn lube plunger bronze bushing. The warm lube would ooze out around the plunger and was a nusiance to say the least. I only had to ream the bushing .002" oversize with a reamer and install the new oversized plunger and it was as good as new! Magma turned me down on replacing the bronze bushing so I had to either live with it or fix it myself. The other option would be to make and intstall a new bushing but that would of been much more work and expense. Thanks to Lathesmith my Star will out last me!

I got my 356 and 358 dies today. Just as he said, they'll arrive about one week later after receiving payment.
Very good quality and look better than the Magma's. I really like the label engraved on the top "STAR 358" in nice large type. The Magma's numbers were pencil engraved and look like my 6 year old did it...
Good job and keep up the good work!!!

I hope to have mine any day.
At one with the gun.
I bought a custom sized die for my Lyman 4500 from lathesmith, and that was also a heck of a lot cheaper than the Lyman price. Came out beautiful, and he shipped it very fast!
So, those of you who have the Lyman or RCBS style lubricizers, you should buy the dies from lathesmith!

I got my last batch of custom Star dies from Stillwell, who did excellent work. He retired a couple of years ago, and its nice to know someone is making quality dies for the best sizer ever made available. I'm sure I will be needing more dies at some time in the future. When I do, I will definitely send an order your way.

Got the handle Chris. Excellent work and uber fast service, thanks for what you do.
Is there a way to identify the die you have in the star sizer that is stamped with the same size as another die without removing the die to check the lube holes?
Chris--thanks for the note and your order, I appreciate it! Plaz, I have made two dies of the same size for customers, and I marked the dies on the top flange with an extra letter/number, so they could differentiate between two different dies of the same size.
