Looking for a machinist

[jdownj]

I have a Lee Classic Turret(4 Hole). Lee lock rings for the dies(with the rubber O-ring) don't do a very good job of locking the dies in place. Hornady lock rings work great for the 3-Hole, but there is not enough clearance between dies to use on the 4-Hole. What I am looking for is someone with a good drill press or milling machine to drill and tap holes from the side of the turret plate, allowing the use of a piece of lead shot and set screw to lock the die in place. Anybody willing to do this kind of work?

I drilled & tapped every Lee die lock-ring I own for a 6x32 set screw & a shot.

You can do it with a hand drill if you are halfway careful.

Rc, when you do that, do you omit the O-ring or leave it in?

Take it out.
Don't need it anymore.
