► To clarify.... you'll want the Dillon
1 inch lock rings on most of your dies. There are some 1-1/8 inch Dillon lock rings which are simply too big. But even then, the Dillon wrench is too large to use in that tight space. Go to a pawn shop and dig through the old wrenches for a 1" box (closed) end wrench. You can slip a box end wrench over the die and the tight space of the tool head becomes a non-issue.
►You most definitely want to use a new Tool Head for each die set. In that way you do not need individual adjustments between each caliber change. You simply slide the tool head with pre-adjusted die set into the machine and go ! (Try the multi-colored tool heads on Ebay from
JoferUSA. )

Nature Boy has it right...
If you are using Dillon's latest dies,
then the body of the Seating Die has to be quickly adjustable to change OAL. The best way to do this is to snug the Seating Die lock ring against a common o-ring (or use a Lee lock ring with integral o-ring). The tension created by the crushed o-ring allows easy die adjustment without loosing the setting.
Hope this helps.
