New lock rings for the Forster Co-Ax

[shoot4fun]

If Redding would come out with in between sizes on their competition shellholder sets, I would rather spend my money there.

Except that wouldn't be a good thing for CoAx users.

Yes Sir, I was a little out of line putting that in a CoAx thread.

Check out these new lock rings for the CO-AX. They allow you to make adjustments while the die is inserted. The rings also use up all of the flat bearing surface of the press to keep the die as straight as possible.

Traditional lock ring.

The only problem I can see, as far as making critical adjustments go, is, what do you reference on the die body against the graduations on the die holder?

That’s my deal on my O frame presses. I loosen the lock ring off then adjust the full length die down a little and then reset the lock ring tight, I just don’t see the usefulness of the marked lock rings.

I use micrometer dies so I don't need them, just sharing info for those who might find them beneficial.

I use micrometer dies when I can. New purchases generally default to them.
