Dimensionally, yes. But who knows about structurally.
Call Star they will explain it all to you, already talked to them years ago, I have never experienced anything like in over 180,000 38/357 rounds using mostly Star Cases.
-
Considering Star 38 short cases are just short 357 magnum cases, doing that to the primer pockets is definitely putting some strange on them.

USB Skil drill with 3/8 inch adapter, using 8-32 nuts on the tools.

Better than the pact?
For dry fire definitely, but at the range the only advantage is the Go records your practice. The PACT is a good timer, way to load for the house.
-
I purchased all the timers in the 150 dollars price range from Amazon and tested them. The shooter's global GO was the best of the bunch, so I returned the rest and kept the GO.
The belt clip definitely helps at the range.

So is there a bench that the press(es) are mounted to in a quick release?
Yes, the bench inside the cabinet has three mounting plates that are removable and presses or other equipment has a plate attached to them.
I built that 35 years ago when my kids were young, so I could lock everything up, especially while I was deployed overseas.
-
I put a regular belt clip on the device instead of the velcro strap.

I like 231 and HP-38, but I just started loading for 9mm and find Titegroup works better for me than 231 or HP-38 with a 135 grain lead bullet.
-
Loaded 12,100 on a Hornady LNL, so far without any problems, but I only shoot revolvers.
-
W231/HP38 same powder started in 1988, but still a different price for each.
-
Took my wife couple of years to get back to almost normal after Chemo and Radiation, so you will get better.

I have CCI500 that look like that in 9mm too, same Winchester case.
-
Just use the setup to practice at the range.
-
This is my setup. I use the two GP100's.

Think of Target Focus; like catching a baseball or football, never take your eye off the ball or in our case never off the target.
You have to work at it because I was sight focused for over 50 years before trying Target Focused, but it does work, especially putting tape over the front of the red dot. -
A strong crimp also helps it burn cleaner.
-
Tried the new SG timer Go, but it had to much going on and has to used with your cell phone. Also it not water proof.
-
I watch it, definitely good training tips.

I came back to Florida 40 years ago from California, my cost of living was cut in half, but today that's not true.
So, good luck on your quest, the Ocala area is beautiful, but everyone in the United State's is trying to move there too.
The condominiums laws will change in 2025, so if that's something you were thinking about, please check those out too.
The match in St. Augustine moved to Jacksonville, but it's off of US 301, so the range is easy to get too, but still about 75 miles from Ocala.
-
Please, check out the home owners insurance if you plan to come.
Have you ever lived in Florida because the only thing we have in common with Washington State, is the fact we are both States.

This works with my GP100 10 shot and my 617. Have to use specific speed loaders but the holster and speed loader holders work well for both. safariland 02 and Johnson precision on holders.
Where did you purchase the holster?

it’s nice that you keep yearly totals of the rounds that you load…
When I started in 1988 an old guy told me to write down everything, but it did take me about a year to move the log book to open office cal.
I did use another 100 Fiocchi's last night without any problems.
-
They worked for me, just like any other primer.
