The Redding Stainless Steel Crossbolt Lock Rings – 7 Pack (MPN: 11077) provide positive, non-marring retention for standard reloading dies installed in single-stage, progressive, and turret presses. Sized to fully populate a 7-station press head, these precision-machined stainless steel rings clamp around standard 7/8"-14 TPI die bodies. Unlike traditional brass setscrew designs that drive directly into die threads, the crossbolt split-ring mechanism tightens evenly around the full circumference, preserving critical sizing depth and headspace settings across die removal and reinstallation cycles.

Key Features

• Split-Ring Crossbolt Clamping: Compresses uniformly across the 7/8"-14 die body using an integrated 7/64" hex screw, securing die adjustments without deforming or gouging the steel threads.
• Machined Stainless Steel Construction: Resists environmental humidity and workshop corrosion without degrading, galling, or rusting over long-term storage and use.
• Aggressive Outer Knurling: Delivers high-traction exterior grip for precise finger-tight adjustments, vertical alignment, and depth calibration prior to hex wrench lock-down.
• Direct 7-Station Compatibility: Supplied in a dedicated 7-pack configuration to fully outfit a Redding T-7 Turret Press or multiple multi-die precision sets in a single package.
