THE STAR RELOADER

OPERATION

In the PROGRESSIVE RELOADING TOOL a complete reload is made in one stroke of the hand lever and
by handling the shell only once. In stability of continuous operation it is unsurpassed by any loader in the field.
The powder carrier has passed the closest inspection and throws as accurate a charge as can be metered. All
tools and dies are adjustably mounted in a tool head, performing their operations on the shells in their respective
positions simultaneously. Its name, PROGRESSIVE RELOADING TOOL, is derived from its method of
operation, progressively reloading shells from one stroke of the hand lever, a complete load to each stroke.

LEADERSHIP

THE PROGRESSIVE RELOADING TOOL was originally designed and patented by us and has been the
accepted leader in its field for over 50 years. Only a few minor changes have been made since the original
model was placed on the market due to the soundness of the fundamental design and the accuracy with which
each part is made. Its acceptance by leading pistol and revolver shooters is based on excellence of performance
and trouble free operation.

THE PROGRESSIVE RELOADER is manufactured complete in our own well-equipped shop, by our
specially trained mechanics. When we state that it will last a lifetime, we mean just that. We have testimonial
letters on file that have been sent to us voluntarily and many of these tools have reloaded over one million
shells.

THE STAR LUBRICATOR and RESIZER

OPERATION

This lubricator embodies a newly perfected method of lubricating bullets; is substantially and carefully
built and is accurate and positive in its operations. A storage pressure system is used in the grease reservoir, by
means of a compression spring, which feeds the grease to a high-pressure pump which automatically forces the
lubricant into the grooves of the bullet. The bullet is then forced through the die by the entering of the next one.

One setting of the pressure screw greases from 100 to 200 bullets. The bullets being forced on through the
die makes this tool about three times as fast as the ordinary lubricator.

This tool is becoming as famous as the PROGRESSIVE RELOADING TOOL among shooters for its
accuracy and speed. It is equipped with hardened dies and is adaptable to any caliber. It is sold on a money back
guarantee if not satisfactory after a week’s trial.

IMPORTANT

In ordering send us one of YOUR bullets and the tool will be properly adjusted before being shipped to
you. Or if no bullet is available give description or catalog number.
