I've recently replaced the lock rings on all of my old Lee dies with Hornady rings because I went to a T-7 press and right now I can't swing five $70 turrets.
My question is how do you keep the dies tight on the press? The ring obviously allows you to quickly insert the dies keep them adjusted but I noticed that at the beginning they sometimes have a tendency to loosen and back out a bit especially when resizing large cases that require quite a bit of force.
After they loosen and I retighten them a couple of times they seem to hold tight thereafter but at first I've had to run some cases through again after noticing the resizing die a little loose in the press.
I'm thinking that there might be a trick to attaching the ring to the die that might alleviate the issue but I haven't figured it out yet.
