RCBS Dies Lock nut question

[dtalley]

What size of wrench fits the lock nut and what size of allen wrench fits the lockdown screw??

I have been using a cresent wrench but would like a regular box end wrench to use. Also I have stripped out the allen head of a couple and have trouble when I need to readjust the die.

Thanks.

Give 'em a call - they'll likely send you a couple of allen wrenches and set screws at no charge and tell you what size wrench to get (I think they also sell them):

Call RCBS Customer Service at 1.800.533.5000 or 1.530.533.5191 Monday through Thursday 6:30 AM - 3:00 PM PST

Drop a #7 lead shot in the set screw hole and tighten the allen screw down against it. It will help save the set screws, and die body threads. You can likely fine someone at yor local club that will give you a couple pieces of shot if you don`t reload shotgun.

For a wrench try one of these...

if you can`t get the set screw out try using a set if wire side cutters with the sharp edge you can get a great grip on it.
