Hello, and welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network.
Tonight the gang are talking Lockrings.
I have a question I'd like to hear answered on the podcast. I usually use Rcbs dies. But sometimes the brass set screw in the lock nut either fails or gets stripped out. So I'll replace them with a Hornady lock nut that tightens with a allen screw that compresses the split lock nut around the die. So my question is two fold. First, why is it that when I tighten the Allen screw in the lock nut, the lock nut seems to tighten down into the press? Once it tightened down so much that when I used a wrench to loosen the die the black threaded sleeve that rests inside the rock chucker press I use came out with the die instead of the die coming out of the press. My second question is, does using the Hornady style lock nut have the potential to squish the die out of round and cause concentricity issues or have other negative effects that might degrade accuracy?
