What is the fix for a spru plate retaining screw that wants to back out on a Lee six hole mold. It has some kinda lock washer under it, but it seems to be useless.

You can side drill the threaded hole and put in a set screw.

Or, much easiler, you can use a little wee bitty dab of green locktite -- the kind that will come undone later with a little heat and a little "gunt" worth of counter-clockwise wrench torque.

(it ain't no silly screw head, put a socket on it and loosen 'er on up anyway)
