    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.

    You can nip them up with spanner mate, just don't go swinging on them

    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
