Magma Caster

[lpel]

Anyone know of a dealer in Canada. I have been thinking of getting one of these for years now. With the dollar so good........

They have them on their web site for $995 US, not bad. Anyone have any experience with one?

While I am at it, it is likely time to upgrade to a Star Lube Sizer as well. Anyone using one? Comments?

Thanks. I have looked on Cast Boolits etc.

Both items must be ordered from them directly, I have no experience with the casting machine but the Star lubesizer is the best thing to come along in many moons. I have 2 air driven Star units with heaters and wouldn't want to be without them.

Friend of mine used to have four of them for a commercial casting operation here in AB back in the day. They worked well, required daily maintenance though. Make sure your work area has 220 electrics and is VERY well ventilated. - dan

Thanks guys. This will not be for commercial quantities. Just me and perhaps a few other shooters. I just want to up my productivity when casting.

I know someon who has the same machine I am looking for and will be contacting him as well before I decide. It's the lubing I hate the most!!

Not personally, but The Bullet Barn here in B.C. uses a Magma (presumably a big one!) and they seem to be happy with it and produce good bullets.

Well you won't mind lubing and sizing bullets with the Star, It's about 5 times faster then the Ly/RCBS/Saeco setups, and slicker too. I also believe it produces a more concentric bullet due to it's design which doesn't rely on die - top punch alignment.
