Will the Redding 11071 lock ring damage my existing reloading die threads like standard set-screw models do?

No, the Redding 11071 features a non-marring crossbolt clamping mechanism rather than a traditional grub screw that presses directly into the threads. The integrated crossbolt tightens uniformly around the 7/8"-14 die body circumference using the included 7/64" hex wrench, completely eliminating thread burrs and damage while securely preserving your precise depth settings.

Is this lock ring compatible with my non-Redding reloading presses and dies used in my Australian workshop?

Yes, the Redding 11071 is engineered with industry-standard 7/8"-14 TPI threading, providing full cross-brand compatibility with presses and dies from brands like RCBS, Hornady, Lee Precision, and Lyman. As a purely mechanical accessory, it has no electrical requirements, meaning standard Australian electrical regulations and SAA/RCM marks do not apply.

Can I use the Redding 11071 stainless steel lock ring on large-format magnum dies like those for .50 BMG?

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies covering small-to-large rifle and pistol calibres. It is not suitable for oversized reloading dies requiring 1-1/4"-12 or 1-1/2"-12 threaded rings, such as those needed for .50 BMG and large magnum calibres.

How does the stainless steel construction hold up in humid Australian reloading environments compared to carbon steel rings?

The precision-machined heavy-duty stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance and longevity against atmospheric moisture and chemical degradation compared to standard blued alloy steel rings. This makes it ideal for maintaining consistent performance in humid coastal areas or uninsulated sheds across Australia.

Reloading Die Lock Ring - Redding 11071

The Redding Stainless Steel Crossbolt Lock Ring (Item No. 11071) is a precision-machined reloading accessory designed to secure die depth settings on standard metallic reloading presses. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it utilizes a radial crossbolt clamping mechanism to lock securely around the die body circumference without forcing a set screw into the die threads. This mechanical design maintains precise headspace, neck sizing, and bullet seating depth adjustments across multiple reloading sessions while eliminating thread burring.

Key Features

Thread-Safe Radial Clamping: Secures firmly around the die circumference via a crossbolt design, preventing the thread marring and distortion common with direct-contact grub screws.
Stainless Steel Construction: Precision-machined from heavy-duty stainless steel to provide superior corrosion resistance in humid benchtop workshop environments.
Aggressive Outer Knurling: Features a sharply knurled perimeter that enables precise, non-slip finger adjustments prior to final lock-down.
Fastener Fastening: Integrated clamp tightens using an included 7/64" hex wrench for repeatable, rigid locking.
Universal Compatibility: Fits industry-standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies and press-mounted accessories across standard rifle and pistol calibres.

Technical Specifications

Thread Compatibility: 7/8"-14 TPI
Material: Machined stainless steel
Fastener Drive Size: 7/64" hex wrench (included)
Weight: Approximately 0.034 lb (15.4 g)
Operating Envelope: Standard metallic reloading dies and press tooling

Who is the Redding Stainless Steel Crossbolt Lock Ring for?

Handloaders seeking to preserve precise die depth settings — Secures metallic reloading dies at an exact depth using a 7/8"-14 TPI thread interface and a 7/64" hex wrench crossbolt system, locking the setting across reloading sessions without shifting or thread damage.
Reloaders replacing damaged set-screw style lock rings — Replaces worn or thread-damaging rings on standard 7/8"-14 TPI dies with a 0.034 lb stainless steel clamping ring that distributes locking pressure evenly around the die body.

Less suitable for: Large-format or oversized reloading dies requiring 1-1/4"-12 or 1-1/2"-12 threaded rings (such as those used for .50 BMG and large magnum calibres), which require specialised oversized lock rings.
