This may be very old news for most of you, but I thought it was worth sharing.
As most of you may know, the brass set screws used in RCBS dies are marginal at best. I stripped the one on the seating die three weeks after I bought it. I emailed RCBS and they are sending me some new screws and a few balls of led shot to put under the screw - free of charge. Great customer service in my book.
However, being impatient, I went to lowe's and found a package of #10-34 x 1" brass machine screws with a strait blade head. Works amazingly well. If, for some reason, the threads strip, the stripped portion can easily be cut off.
Just wanted to throw this fix out there for everybody.
