LNL O-Rings

[bbqreloader]

Was having issues with Powder Measure, Seater die and Expander die working themselves loose during a reloading session. So after some research on this site and one of the HighBoy videos, found several fix suggestions. So went looking for the thicker O-Rings, but did not want to buy the box from Harbor Freight and end up with a bunch of O-Rings I have no use for.
Well found a supplier for just those O-Rings. Set a couple of bushings up with the new O-Rings. A little tight to get the bushing to turn (used my taped up wrench to seat all the way) but once in, that bushing is not going anywhere. Ran a test trial on my undersize die for the 40 and the die never made it's way loose for 200 cases. Plan on a reloading session this weekend, so will update with further. Here is a picture of the O-Ring package with supplier info. Paid 3.50 for 25, shipping was 3.75, of course.

I got the Harbor Freight box of O-rings and found uses for some of the other O-rings. Used the smaller O-rings on my sizer dies (RCBS, etc.) and of course, the LNL powder measure. I did buy the 25 O-ring packet from www.oringsandmore.com for my Model B tumbler. Makes a great replacement belt in lieu of the $5 OEM belt. Cost was less than purchasing one OEM belt.

Hornady will send out the shims free to tighten them up if needed. I've used just plain paper in a pinch. Just cut a strip and put in the bushing when you install the die.

Update: Ran 500 rounds of 9 today. Everything held fast and no movement on the dies. Like these O-Rings.
Thanks to Blue and Go for the suggestions and input. There's a lot of info on this site, but just wanted to throw out something I found and works but provide info and testing on it. I have a habit of marking threads that have great info that is pertinent to what I'm doing so I can reference later.

I tried the thicker o-rings and though they did work I found that the spacers that Hornady sent me no charge work much better.
