On RCBS dies there is a small brass set screw that locks the lockdown ring in place once it is adjusted. The small brass setscrew bites into the threads of the die holding the lockdown ring in place.
I continue to strip the hexhead out of these brass screws before it snugs down tight enough to do its job properly. Does anyone have a solution to help prevent this?
I was thinking of taking a small lead shot pellet like a #8 and putting it between the brass screw and the die body. I don't see how soft lead could hurt, but looking for solutions that others may have found work.
