Star Sizing Dies

[frnkeore]

I have three Star sizing dies. I don't have a Star sizer so, I'm going to sell them.

My question is, what is a fair price for them?

They are as follows:

1. .308 with a 316 nose punch

2. .357 with a unknown punch. Probably a 311 type, not a WD or SWC

3. .452 with a H&G 130 punch

4. a single nose punch of .353 dia. looks a lot like a 311 style

Any body know what they sell for?

A new die from Magma is something around 40 bucks or more. A sizing punch probably 20 or so.
The sizing punches are usually flat faced and geared towards a bullet diameter, not a specific bullet design. Maybe someone made punches for base first sizing but I haven't seen any.

I think several years back a lot of Star punches were bullet specific for sizing base first. As more people discovered the value of nose first sizing with a flat punch against the bullet base probably most people have flat punches these days. I have several Star nose punches from many years ago but have never used any of them, picked them up used somewhere, probably as part of a box of "stuff".

in the old day's STAR made nose punches and the bullets were pushed through base first.
some umm cheap guy pointed out you could just push them through with a flat punch nose first.

Rick probably knows the guy ...

This is the box for the 308 die, that has the 311316 punch with it.

So, $30 a set would be a good price to a buyer?

$30 would be a good price.
the dies still work with the flat base punches.
