Re: Star/Magma lubrisizer
Welcome to Full-Bore UK.
Why not introduce yourself on the New Members forum?
You are as well having it sent over from the the states direct from Magma.
You must be doing a lot of same bullet sizing/lubing to want to spring for one of those.
Once I stopped shooting 2000 rounds pistol a week after the ban my Star has been languishing in the loft, for the small 200 round rifle batches for many calibres I do now I find that a selection of second hand RCBS/Lyman/SAECO units to be far more flexible and they are much easier to set up for die changes.
When it comes to same calibre/size volume reloading the Magmas with all the bells and whistles are hard to beat but you need to be doing an awful lot to make it cost effective.

Re: Star/Magma lubrisizer
I was using my Star yesterday - 1000 44's in less than an hour - beat that.
You occasionally see a secondhand one for sale on the castboolit forum.

Re: Star/Magma lubrisizer
Thank you for the replies and the advice. I certainly do not need a third lubrisizer but the Star/Magma intrigues me; the idea of nose down sizing makes sense and, let's face it, we do not need reasons for buying new tackle.

Re: Star/Magma lubrisizer
A Star is fine until you need to put on gas checks which is when the RCBS (I don't like the Lyman despite having three!) lubesizer comes into it's own.wool wrote:Thank you for the replies and the advice.

Re: Star/Magma lubrisizer
You can make your RCBS or Lyman into a push through lube/sizer by just removing the "I" pin and disconnecting the ejector rods.
As with the Star you will have to fiddle about getting the "H" die lube holes lined up and some of them may need blocking up with lead shot.
If I want a push through speed then I use my Meepos I find it easier to set up than the Star/Magma.
