Through the research and development process for the ZERO, it became a testing bed for MANY reloading products. We needed to isolate variables, and ensure we were testing the press and not just the dies/shellholders/etc. One of the major culprits we found for inconsistency was actually lock rings. MOST lock rings on the market are held into place by a set screw or they’re split/clamp style. We found these to be inconsistent by design, as they needed to secure themselves to the dies for constant removal/replacement in single-stage presses.
NOTE: THESE RINGS CAN NOT BE USED IN EVERY SLOT ON A REDDING T-7, THE RING DIAMETER IS TOO LARGE.
So, we decided to make our own. Here’s where we landed:
- LARGE DIAMETER – more surface contact with the turret head means the ring will align with the press and force the die straight, instead of grabbing onto the die and aligning as it may.
- MORE THREAD ENGAGEMENT – the rings feature .350″ of thread engagement, which is 15-25% more than common die lock rings. This results in roughly a full thread of additional engagement, increasing the ability of the ring to square the die to the press.
- INTERNAL WRENCH ENGAGEMENT – with traditional rings, there is a flat or knurling on the outside, which requires you to get a wrench around the outside to tighten. On a multi-die head this requires you to get tools between dies and fight with the location – or you have to make the ring smaller which has real downsides. This ring is designed with internal wrench engagement, mitigating this issue altogether.
- PRECISION STAINLESS STEEL MANUFACTURING – The threads and bottom face of the ring are machined in a single operation, delivering square surfaces to align your die. We then leave the ring and threads hole and unobscured by splits and grub screws. All rings are made of 17-4PH stainless steel. Available in raw stainless or with a black nitride finish.
Total thickness of rings is .500″ and outside diameter is 1.685″

OMG, these are such an improvement to the standard design. Purchased a 4 pack to test them out. Now I’m just waiting for them to return in stock so my turret head can be complete. Great work guys!!!

Great Product
ROBERT Merulli (verified owner) –
They fit very well and make it easier to install or remove. I just wish I had more turrets to use them on.

Great surface area contact. The wrench will attempt to “come out of “ the inside serrations if ANY upward force is applied during the tightening process. Be gentle.
Taken as a whole, the zero press is an extremely well built reloader that marks a significant leap forward in terms of precision.

Great product. works better than any other locking ring.

The best press and best die locking rings available.

I got a set of these in anticipation of my Zero Press shipping soon. Today I decided to try them out on my existing T-7 press. Wow! These things are solid and do a better job of securing dies in the press. Yet another innovative product!

As you would expect for these guys these die rings are flawless. Once you install them you will see what I mean. They just look and feel precise, and they are.

A bit pricey but nice
Roger (verified owner) –
Excellent product, provides a larger area for holding the dies in proper alignment and the wrench also allows a superior grip when tightening the ring down.
Hamid Z. (verified owner) –
I ordered a 9 pack. Are they essential, I have to say no but they are nice to have.
Anthony A. (verified owner) –
Machining and coating are perfect. The wrench makes it very easy to lock down dies.
Christopher Franks (verified owner) –
I waited months for these to come back! Glad I got some!
Christopher Tuter (verified owner) –
Awesome Rings. One minor complaint is the wrench is not rigid enough and easily slips in the rings and starts to round its teeth off. I feel like you should be able to snug the rings down a little bit more than you can with this wrench. The rings don’t get damaged but my wrench has teeth that look like they are rounding off and that’s just after setting up a few rings.

Nice rings and work perfect with the zero. Wish the lock up on the wrench and rings was more positive.

As usual. Outstanding solid product. These rings are heavy and precision made. The wrench works great. Only confusion was the pic on the website. I envisioned two piece rings. It is just one solid ring, one side w the wrench gears and one flat.

Only problem is that they are out of stock most of the time.

The die rings work very well on the zero press. I wrench makes they easy to tighten/loosen and once tight the dies are aligned accurately and never move. Another quality product from Area 419! Thanks!

Easy to use and they lock really well
Mike (verified owner) –
They look great and looking forward to using them

A lot nicer than having to worry or remove a previously set die in order to access the lock ring of another…

These are awesome and work great. Much better than a lock ring.

Swapping out ALL of my other stands to these only as so superior and easy to use

Yes – you don’t need these to use the Zero Press, BUT you spent $$$ on the machine so why not ensure perfection. The rings are very well made and help maximize the performance of the press.

Soiled way to lock down those die.
Michael Melland (verified owner) –
These are really nice and do in fact hold the dies straighter. I have the same issue a couple other reviewers have noted in that the wrench slips inside the ring when tightening the dies. Perhaps that;’s by design when a certain torque is reached.
Dennis R. (verified owner) –
Great rings, so far above the rest! Can’t put into words the quality fit, appearance and function. These make other rings just boat anchors! Keep up the great work 419! Love all your products and great service!!!!!

Great addition to the Zero. Would be nice to have a way to lock them in place with the die, but I understand the logic for not doing so.

I was skeptical re the value of the rings but I was wrong. They do make a difference.
