I have to plead ignorance, I have never heard of that brand of press. Is that the Mexican version of Dillion?
I had an old Pacific and a RCBS that I recently sold but I have never come across your press.
Post a picture!

Never heard of it before - apparently its a semi-progressive? For the price ($395!!!) You could get a fully-progressive dillon press.0 -
It is actually a LINEAR progressive. Surely someone out there is using one, or knows someone who does! 0 -
Hello I know this company has a very good rep. on shotshell reloaders however from looking at this press in person . my take was it was a bandade ATTEMPT to get into the Metallic reloader market. If I had one I would use it and make the most of what it is but I think there are better presses on the market . I have loaded between 7,000 and 10,000 45acp rounds a year for the last 35 + years on a Star. loader and only thing I have ever broken was 2 decapping pins from 380 auto cases stuck inside the 45 case. If I wanted a high volumn loader I would get a star as my first choice and a dillon 550 or 650 as second choice.. 0 -
Everyday is a learning experience, I have not heard of a "star" press either. Guess I need to do some research. I love my Dillon 550!

Hello Sig I tried to send you a email thru this sight but it was returned .The star is a 1930's design that IMHO has never been beat .It was first used by police dept to reload practice ammo and these presses load 1 MILLION rounds plus the they were made so you could interchange calibers by changeing dies and shell plate . I have been loading on mine for over 35 years and only thing I have broken was 2 decapping pins broken on 380 auto cases stuck inside 45 cases. They are made of cast iron and harden steel No Plastic . I have been buying and selling /set up and instruct on their use to many bulls-eye shooters in my state . The dillon is a design that uses mand of the same ideas of a star but IMHO no where near as well made if you search on this site under reloading equipment there is one going off today but will most likely be relisted. Or Email me for more history and pictures. Cheers "PRAISE THE HARD-BALL GUN" 0
