When strolling on the internet I came across a forum about reloading presses from Star, and was very impressed from the quality of these presses.
I know now, they are real handgun ammo presses, mainly in .38, .357 and .45, but then Ithought, considering the relative small amount of force the reloading process of a .222rem. round, if it would be possible to convert this press to small rifle ammo loading?

The press I am interested in is a Universal Star, it is build up for .357Magn. at the moment, but requires special dies and shell plates etc. and I wonder if and or were those can be bought for .222Rem.

The problem with Star equipment is that it is made by Magma now, Star is gone. I havea Star Sizer and many dies for it.
