Hornady lock rings.

[olegs69]

Does anyone know where to get a wack of Hornady lock rings.

I love LEE dies, but the blasted rings simply won't stay put.

Thanks a ton!

Might I suggest buying Hornady dies?

Free bullet offer applies to them as well and they are vastly better than Lee.

I started with Lee myself but now only use Hornady or RCBS.

Might try Sinclair in the states or direct from Hornady with a long waiting period.

The hornady dies are just weird. I prefer RCBS.

Higginson's powders may have some. They will be able to order them if they aren't in stock.

Loctite is your friend If you can find the green stuff (bearing retainer), use that. If not, use red. Which ever you use, don't get it on the threads below the nut, then screw it into your press whatever you do.

That's strange, I find that Lee dies with the o-ring are the only ones that actually stay in place. My RCBS and Hornady dies I need to put on with a large pipe wrench to keep them from moving.

That is weird and atypical.

What exactly do you like about Lee dies?
Not trying to be a smart ass its just that I've never seen where they had anything to offer other than a slightly reduced price level.

I've got three sets of Lee shellholders (green box) and other than that I've never bought Lee products.

I do admit that RCBS dies a tad better.
I picked up a set of 45-70 RCBS dies from another nut.
When the dies arrived, they were dusty with cobwebs.
I thought to myself, these things were toast.
I though wrong. A good clean up and the dies were cranking out perfect rounds for my Marlin.

The only thing i dislike about my lee dies in 9mm is the belling die.
It sticks on the downstroke and requires a quick "whip" of the arm to set it free. Probably not good for the dies or the press. That and the rings coming loose.

I'm not complaining though. I picked up a Lee hand press and the 9mm dies plus the lee cutter plus cutter guide for just under 100$. That price simply can't be beat.

60$ more and I got 500 lead cast 125 grainers and some Titegroup.

You get what you pay for, but you still get lots on a shoestring.

Your millage may vary.
