    Lee dies

    Im using Lee dies that i find the lock nuts move quite easily. Once i have found the setting i want ,i would like to lock them in place.

    Other dies ive seen have a grub screw on the lock nut. Has anyone got a fix for this problem.

    I have seen quick change bushes,but im not sure if that would do it.

    Locking nuts sounds like a good idea.

    The quick change ones are good I use them in one press but I found out what you say in another press so what I did was to set the die where I wanted it and then run some tape around the die other the nut and die now I just screw the die back in and out it worked ok for me

    you can get locking rings for Lee dies, complete with grubscrews etc - I bought a pack of three from a certain auction site for under £3 - or try your local reloading equipment stockist.
