....Good practice. A little thing I've learned to do after having too many "OOps's" is to tighten the locking ring when you are satisfied with the setting, tighten the locking screw and then verrrry carefully unscrew the die body from the press a turn, being careful NOT to move the locking ring, and re-tighten the lock-down screw. You will be surprised at how little it takes to move a locking ring that has been screw tightened in the press once it has had the locking tension removed. Sure saves a whole lot of wasted time and chronic cursing....
