The only thing I'm not terribly happy with is the O ring adjustment lock. I think it's about 90% as good as the RCBS adjustment lock rings that you lock with an Allen wrench and they STAY locked, however, if I really want, I can order inexpensive RCBS lock rings and use them on my Lee dies. Besides, I didn't have enough crimp on my .45 ACP lead semi-wadcutters, and when I inserted a loaded round into the die and added crimp to where I thought it should be, and tried to tighten the Lee lock ring with a crescent wrench without holding the die with another crescent wrench, the die turned in the 3 die turret until it stopped tightly up against the cartridge case. I looked at the taper crimp on the cartridge in the die, and found it to be perfect. I loaded the rest of my empty cases and found that the press handle "broke over" a little near the end of the stroke assuring as tight a crimp as possible. I have found no problems with this method after loading and firing 5 rounds, and the rest of my reloaded .45's look great!
