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″

I wanted in SS to make it easier to witness mark
Nate (verified owner) –
Works way better than the lock rings that come with the other brand dies
Karl Cobarrubias (verified owner) –
I’ve had RCBS, Lee and coaxial presses in the past, but the Zero press surpasses them all. It’s silky smooth, precise, and a joy to use.
Frank Juntilla (verified owner) –
Good product
Garry (verified owner) –
Was awesome
Nathan T. (verified owner) –
Truly the best rings I’ve ever used, they grip better than anything I’ve ever used. Definitely worth getting.
Eric D. (verified owner) –
Awesome upgrades to any smaller diameter lock ring. They work great on single stage presses like the MEC Marksman, but may not fit on progressive tool heads because they are wider.
Scott Marshall (verified owner) –
Excellent as always – thank you
Jaime (verified owner) –
Always top quality
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Solves the problem: dies too close to insert a wrench. Also, nice big flat face on them. Also CNC candy! Love em

Another great Area 419 Product!
Harold L. (verified owner) –
I wish they had incorporated a set screw, but if you never plan to move the die, then these are excellent. Figure it could have been added at an angle on the inside top of the ring, but maybe it was a form over function thing.

excellent quality product – Area 419 well done!
Don Dory (verified owner) –
I really like the lock rings and how you torque them down. I just wish I didn’t have to own three wrenches as the multipack of rings seems to only come with a wrench. Otherwise a nice design.

These are suppose to be the best because of them being larger so more contact area. I have had a problem with them loosing but I am sure its something I have done.

Second set for second turret, nothing better.
Alejandro Rodriguez Wilkes (verified owner) –

I recently purchased both the zero press for one this thing is absolutely amazing it’s everything you could ever want in a press. But enough about the press the M series die is on another level. Not only did it cut my reloading time in half but the accuracy. Every single case bumped .0025 every time on one cycle. My groups instantly tightened up and I was hitting everything that was it the bullets way.
Sandy S. (verified owner) –
A necessary part and is a great approach to the system.
Tevis Smith (verified owner) –

Perfectly flush and true, a must in my opinion if your reloading on the Zero.

Jan Cremers (verified owner) –
If youre looking for ZERO tolerance, this is the lockring you want!
Mark (verified owner) –
Not the cheapest by any means but a very innovative set of die rings. From an engineering point of view they are a great way to make sure your dies are truly aligned in your press.
Michael R. (verified owner) –
Great!
steve crutchfield (verified owner) –
I really like the positive locking feel of these rings. The only downside is, when you have to remove them to load another caliber, you have to completely set them again.
I know you’ve thought about this, but a smaller diameter jamb nut above the main ring might work, although it may prevent loosening the die from the press. I guess the best solution is to buy another head. I guess resetting a die is a small price to pay for outstanding performance.
Andy H. (verified owner) –
As expected
Michael P. (verified owner) –
Best die ring ever used. Ensures true alignment, and locks solid
Arron Hamilton (verified owner) –

Lawson Smith (verified owner) –
No real comment other than they seem to work great. I still miss the lock screw. It would be nice to save the setting when I do need to move the dies.
John Mallett (verified owner) –
Work of art
Aurelio D. (verified owner) –
Bought the ring pack along with zero press , zero shellholder system, and storage block. Highly recommend all thesee products. I was on the fence about getting these products because of the price. So far I have had these products for a about a month. Set up was a breeze and my reloading session have been pretty enjoyable. I can say without a doubt these products have made my reloading much more accurate and repeatable. Using this setup I was able to find a load for my 30-06 with an SD of 1 and a load for my 308 with SD of 2. Before using the zero press, I felt like I was chasing my tail trying to work up a load.

The die locking rings are “Massive”, they will hold your dies secure with ‘ZERO Movement”, there is no forgiveness getting the supplied wrench into the inside of these die locking rings, they are also held to the very tight tolerances, just like the press itself.

These work great, that’s always been the downfall of turret presses, not being able to loose n a die when you have the turret full, this solved the problem.

It is one of those items that you must buy when you own a Zero Press. It makes locking down your dies a breeze and they look good to boot.

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.

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.

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.
