Hornady Sure-Loc Lock Ring 7/8x14 Thread - Reloading Die

The Hornady Sure-Loc Lock Ring transforms reloading die setup from a tedious adjustment process into a precise, repeatable operation. This 7/8"x14 threaded lock ring eliminates the common frustration of dies shifting during use, maintaining consistent bullet seating depth and powder charge compression across entire reloading sessions.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard lock rings that rely on a single set screw, the Sure-Loc system uses a split-ring design with dual compression points. This engineering approach distributes clamping force evenly around the die body, preventing the micro-movements that plague conventional setups. The result is measurable improvements in ammunition consistency, with many reloaders reporting reduced standard deviation in velocity spreads.

Key Features

• Split-ring compression design eliminates die movement during operation
• Machined from solid steel with corrosion-resistant finish
• 7/8"x14 threading fits all standard reloading presses
• Dual hex screws provide 360-degree clamping force distribution
• Compatible with Hornady, RCBS, Lee, Redding, and Dillon dies
• Knurled exterior surface enables hand-tightening without tools
• Maintains settings through thousands of reloading cycles

Reloaders working with precision rifle cartridges notice immediate improvements in concentricity and overall cartridge quality. The consistent die positioning translates directly to reduced bullet runout and more uniform case neck tension. Competition shooters particularly value the ability to return to exact settings after die removal, eliminating the need for complete re-setup between reloading sessions.
