During the development of the ZERO, we identified inconsistencies in traditional lock rings, which are often secured by set screws or split/clamp styles. These designs can lead to unreliable performance when frequently removing and replacing dies in single-stage presses. To address this, we engineered our own locking die rings with the following features:
Key Features:
- LARGE DIAMETER: More surface contact with the turret head ensures proper alignment with the press, promoting straight die positioning.
- MORE THREAD ENGAGEMENT: Our rings provide .350″ of thread engagement, which is 15-25% more than typical die lock rings, enhancing stability and squaring ability.
- INTERNAL WRENCH ENGAGEMENT: Designed for ease of use, our rings feature internal wrench engagement, eliminating the hassle of maneuvering tools between dies.
- PRECISION STAINLESS STEEL MANUFACTURING: Each ring is machined in a single operation, ensuring square surfaces for accurate die alignment. Made from 17-4PH stainless steel, they are available in raw stainless or with a black nitride finish.
The total thickness of the rings is .500″, with an outside diameter of 1.685″, making them a robust choice for any reloading setup.
