Forster Products has solved two problems common to many reloaders: misaligned die locking rings and damaged die threads. Either of those situations can occur when a locking ring cross-screw is fastened too tightly or if the locking ring threads are improperly mated with the die threads. Forster's locking ring design features an easy to use cross bolt that connects the two ends of the ring instead of a traditional screw design that tightens directly into the threads of the die. The result is a more reliable alignment with no canting and no damage to the die threads which remain untouched by the cross bolt. Tightening or loosening the cross bolt requires a 7/64" hex wrench. The Forster cross bolt locking ring are machined from Aluminum and will fit any manufacturer's standard 7/8-14 dies. They are supplied with all Forster's high quality Bench Rest® Dies.

"Must Have" for the Co-Ax(01/02/2014)
If you have a Co-Ax press you probably reload for more than one cartridge. You get two of these with the press. Once you get your dies for a cartridge set you'll want to leave them set, at least for the resizing die. This way I can set up all my dies correctly and leave the rings on the die making setting up and changing dies a snap.......literally.

Outstanding Product !
Forster die lock ring "dozen"(22/01/2018)
I wanted to swap out most of my Lee, RCBS & Redding die lock rings with Forster lock rings. I use my pistol / rifle dies both in my Forster Co-ax press and Lee presses. It was much more economical to buy the rings by the dozen to achieve this process. The Forster lock rings are very well made. One doesn't have to be concerned with die movement or damage of your dies threads when using the clamping method Forster die lock rings provide. Highly recommend.
