[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1885542, member: 69478"] You can upgrade the Lee dies with lock rings that permanently lock like the Redding, RCBS, Hornady, etc. and they’re only a few bucks a piece. I can understand what you’re worried about, but if you have that lock ring on there good and tight, that flat surface of the ring is going to bottom out on the flat surface of your press. It’s going to be consistent every time as long as the lock ring is tight and can’t move. Just run your dies down and make them finger tight in the press. That’s all you need to do to have consistency. If you want to double check things, get a set of comparator gauges and check your base to ogive on your loaded rounds. Also get the Hornady head space comparators and check how much your sizing your brass. Write those numbers down when you finalize your load and just check them every time you load a new batch. That will give you piece of mind. [/QUOTE]
