I've used many brands of dies at this point and I've liked features of different brands and appreciate them for different purposes. One question though, when we find an adjustment with Redding or rcbs dies that have a simple lock ring with set screw, what keeps the dies from loosening in the press? My progressive press seems to want to loosen them and I don't want to put pliers on them of course. On my dies that have split ring locks what I do is adjust them to the right spot, then tighten the clamp bolt and this sets the ring down a bit and bites the LnL bushing or the press so that it won't come out. I've purchased several Forster aluminum rings to use for these dies but just wondered what the trick I'm obviously missing is?
