Hornady concentricity tool nylon tipped thumb screw

Hey fellas,
my nylon insert is flattening out, has anyone tried anything else as a replacement? Unless I can get nylon from a hardware store or HD? Unless I just contact Hornady to get some.

Nylon tip fell completely off mine. Contacted Hornady and they sent me a new one.

Mine flattened out quickly...........although most all of my reloads are pretty close before they go into the tool and require very little force to bring them into < .001 bullet runout near the case mouth. I rotate my cases about 50-60 degrees two to three times throughout the bullet seating stage, and this does a good job of reducing extreme runout. If you are aligning a very tightly necked reload with extreme runout, then the tip is likely to be damaged or/and fall off. I love mine and always use it on every reload. Hornady did tell me that they would send out a new one as I was alarmed too at the quick flattening of the tip.

What they sent me was a new thumb screw.

I think I need to find something that will slip over the screw

I just tear off the cardboard flap of ammo box and stick it in between boolit and screw

Same thing happened to me. The tip literally fell off. I contacted Hornady and they sent me two new screws free. They are very good about things like that.

I have done this for a couple years.

I put a thread protector rubber sleeve on the screw, it slip on, from the hardware store. 20 cents a piece.

Mine fell off the first time I used it. They sent me a new one also. I thought it happened again I would try some hot melt glue.
