What I did to my Hornady LNL

powder measure kept wiggling loose
when bumping brass with my bump die it was not consistant
I always kept checking if the different die did not start turning in the bushing so I changed all bushing with Redding screw in bushing

 
I had the same problem, so I used a larger 0-ring, hooking it on the powder die, twisting it to take up slack, and then I wrapped it over the size/deprime die. It added a bit of clockwise tension on the powder die, keeping it from backing off. Has worked fine for thousands of rounds so far. I reload several calibers, and all have powder dies all adjusted for each, so the quick change is a huge time saver for me so I wanted to keep that functionality.
 
If your using the same dies only in that press its not a big deal. Tighten your allen screw and lock the depth, make a dummy round verifying COAL and your barrel as the cartridge checker. Takes maybe a extra minute to set up.

I don't use my Rockchucker anymore, have been thinking of installing a LNL bushing to do a quick change for depriming die, bullet puller, or even powder measure.
 
Ask Hornady and they will send free shims to tighten up the bushings. They go between the top and the rubber o-rings.

Stainless steel 1.375" O.D. x .005" thick. 2 per pk.


Might try placing a steel spacer under the shellplate under the resizing position to cut down on shellplate bending, if you need it.
