Redding T-7 turret swap

[Drop45]

Hey guys, need help with my t-7. Got a second turret for it and now I can not seem to find the sweet spot for tightening the center bolt. The whole bolt turns with the turret so when I go right with the turret it self tightens and when I go to the left it self loosens, Any ideas??

I have a T-7, but don't have a spare turret, so I'll ask. Did the new turret come with its own bushing? Or are you supposed to shift the original bushing over to the new turret?

I have 3 and swap them on a regular basis. There is a bushing that goes with the turret. Yours might be seized. You might have to lock the turret in order to get the bolt out.

Figured it out. I guess there is just a sweet spot on the amount of torque you apply on the bolt. I was afraid that I may have overlooked a set screw like the Dillon presses have. All is good, thanks.
