I want to start loading for .45 long colt for my .410/.45 contender barrel. It is impossible to find .410 slugs and the old Lee HP .45 colt mold I have will make a better bullet anyway. I notice the newer Lee carbide dies have a locking ring that looks like a gear. The older die sets have a locking ring you use a wrench on to tighten down the die in the turret.
Is this new gear type locking ring any good ?? Since you can only use finger pressure to lock the die in place, that might be an issue for us with arthritis setting into the hands.. is that not a good design ?? Does anyone have a set of these new Lee carbide dies with that new gear shaped locking ring ?? What is your opinion of this ??
