- handy hint:
-
- drop in a #9 lead shot before tightening down the ring locking screw - works like
- a charm, never a buggered die thread (or a slip) in 30+ years of using RCBS dies.
-
- In fact, I think the lead might just hold _better_ than the steel-on-steel.
-
- Oh, yes, don't use those new-fangled steel shot, they'll bugger up the threads,
- too. :-)

- They are equivalent, IMHO. Haven't used any of the new TiN dies from Hornady,
- however.
