[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1166484, member: 25383"] a cross locking screw will keep itself squarer tom the threads better than shifting the lock nut thread with asset screw. Just the nature of the beast. There are better lock nuts, but also not very adaptable to this use. I might add here that the Lyman lock nut works very well in the Forster (I like it better). My press is actually a Bananza built press, and the lock ring slot is very tight. I've found a few Forster rings that were literally metal to metal going into the slot. I suppose I could have ground .002"/.003" off the bottom face, but being aluminum makes them a pain to grind. I called Forster about this issue, and the sent me a dozen new ones. Still very tight fit. The Lyman rings are about .005" thinner, and seem to float in the slot better. Plus they actually have a little more contact area. Someone posted about doing the heavy work on a Redding or an RCBS. The Co-Ax is more powerful! Put the same length handle on each press. gary [/QUOTE]
