The hornady (and others) don't bind against the threads, but rather squeeze against them.

Has any reloader found a type/make of locking ring which works well.
At present I use the one's with a little Allen type small bolt which locks against the die thread, I do find though that the bolt does deteriorate with use.
Any better choices? I see a few other types advertised, but recommendations from users of which ever type? I've always found the best way to choose.

Hornady are better, made from steel not monkey metal.

I hope you didn't buy from the link I provided for information purposes. They look out of stock and would be on back order.
They do a six pack too which comes out cheaper. Spud has them

Hi there,
This is what I do; buy some 7/8 x 14 UNF nuts (Hi tensile if possible) get a mate with a lathe to reduce the thickness (what ever you like and it will be perfectly square) and having six nice flats one can be drilled and tapped for a decent sized grub screw. I tend to use 5mm coarse thread (any thread type will work), grind or face off the rough end of the grub screw and the when threaded on the die drop a large shotgun pellet or piece of lead down the hole and tighten. They don’t move! Sometimes you can find nuts that are already blued.
Cheers

If you are on FB search for Tim Martin.
He is importing Ugly Annealers and stuff made by Derraco Engineering
They make split locking rings
