Still use my dad's star from the 70's, neither one of us wanted to upgrade it, so I still just have a 150-watt clamp light next to the lube body. It is actually very effective. Mine is set up to dump the bullets into a shallow angled ramp and slide into a wood box with a piece of carpet in the bottom.

Be careful when pulling the piston out of your lube is cold, or better yet, warm it up first.. I've got a nice scar just below my mouth from from yanking out it and getting hit with the hollow end of the threaded rod. Thankfully it didn't break my teeth. That being said, these machines are the best, and will outlive you. Mine has to be at least 35 or 40 years or so old and still works great. You get what you pay for from Magma Engineering.

As The Magma instructions state record any distances of the top punch set ups with your calibers and you can reset them back to the same . Sorry for some of the video quality it was all good when it came from my digital camera, if you know what's up let us all know. I used the free Microsoft Movie Maker software to make it. As far as interchangeability of parts with the Star both are the same but some Star machines had die cast lower housings .The Magma Star is cast aluminum. Some very early Star lube sizers had cast iron castings . Check with Magma Engineering for more details

I can NOT put even a 2" stick of lubr in, much less the full 4" stick. The piston/spring assembly cap is INCHES above the thread area. Pushing down wit all I have I can get the cap to hit the threads. But one needs a second person to thread the cap on. ???? Any ideas? Thw brass screw on the left side.....clean out screw. heat the base and pull out the lube somehow? May have something that got in my lube?? I'm at a loss here. Great job on the video
