Die lock rings
Quote from Reloader on July 27, 2018, 12:23 pmI'm new to die adjustment as I've used a SDB for mamy years and have now moved up to a 550C.
Is there a General rule for how tight the die lock rings should be? I've seen finger tight but wasn't sure if that is correct. Feedback is greatly appriciated.

What I did is snugging the nut on top and then snugging a nut on the bottom of the tool head for the dies that have exposed threads on both sides of the toolhead.
So far it is working.
