I second this recommendation, all i use now
 
Man, I guess I have been lucky. I have never had a die lock ring move once set. Either the RCBS/Redding type set screw or the Forster/Whidden/Hornady type clamp screw.

Put a drop of red lock tight on your set ring. One tube will do about 400 die sets, and will cost about $.03 per die.
 
I have to use the set-screw style for my press, no choice, but I drop a #6 birdshot down in there. Those babies never move again until I want them to and the set screw never mangles the threads again.
 
I use Forster, but I also mark the die and ring with a fine tip sharpie. That way you have a quick visual reference on whether your die setup has changed.
 
I think the cross-bolt rings are far superior to the more conventional rings. However, almost all of my dies are Redding and they have conventional rings. None of these rings have ever failed or loosened on their own. So ................ if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
 
Hornady and Forster for me. Lyman/RCBS/Redding rings get removed before the first use. I also use Lee rings with the rubber O ring on crimp dies because I adjust those all the time on pistol rounds that never get trimmed.

I want to buy some lock rings that will actually stay put so that when I pull out a seldom used die I can trust that it is 100% exactly where I left it. What's the best out there?

I have switched many of my dies to the Hornady lock rings . They are excellent .
