    On a single stage, yes, it matters. With a locking ring can R&R the die without losing the depth setting. Use a non-locking ring and need to adjust the die depth every time.

    lock rings do not matter to me, because.... i never tighten the die down. i tighten it then crack it loose. then i tape a piece of duct tape over the lock ring and the top of the press. this serves the same purpose as the bonanza/forster press the die centers itself with the brass. a tight die dosen't mean that everything is in proper alignment. that is my thought, anyway.

    What is the typical thread pitch for does? I have mostly RCBS and Redding dies (one Hornady set).
