One ring to rule them all.......

[GeoDudeFlorida]

I adjust my dies every time I change bullets or brass so the Lee rings work great for me. I also use my .32 dies for Long and H&R magnum, my .38 dies for .357 magnum and maximum, my .44 dies for Russian, Special, and magnum, etc. That’s why I use setup dummies and measures. I guess if you only load one bullet and one cartridge in a set of dies and never make any changes then maybe the lock rings would be nice. But that’s not me so the o-rings work great.

Just a quick review on these plastic lock rings for dies.

I needed a die ring to replace one on a Lee die. I don't care for Lee rings, especially on sizing dies. I usually use Hornady rings as replacements, but I couldn't find any the other day. So, I took a shot at these plastic locking rings. Nice looking and come in colors. Seem to work well as long as you don't go crazy and strip out the screw. The price is definitely right.

The one big problem, at least for me, is that Lee dies with these rings installed won't fit in the any of the Lee boxes/cases that I have. That's a bummer. I guess I will go back to Hornady rings for Lee dies when I find some.

These plastic rings will fit in RCBS and Lyman boxes. And Hornady boxes too, but you would never change out a Hornady ring.
