SAC solo loc rings

[DEW]

Anyone tried these loc rings on their Co ax press? Thoughts?

I have a bunch. They have been great for adjusting sizing and bump dies. An added bonus is they keep your seating does aligned exactly the same since it only goes in/out one way.

Standard lock rings work fine in my Coax. Once they're set I have no need to adjust again. Might be handy if loading for several different rifles. In my case, a cure for a non existent problem.

I have the Forster Accu-Ring and while not a must-have item, they are nice to have. Haven't tried the SAC ones yet

Have them, use them, like them.

Necessary? Probably not. Nice? Very.

They're about like anything from SAC - there's always a cheaper option if someone doesn't want what they offer. I think they offer quality, and to me the cost is worth it.

I have several (6 to be exact) of them on my dies and love them. You can adjust the die without removing it from the press, which (imo) makes it easier to fine tune the depth. Once set, the die returns to the same place. Meaning it can't be rotated. It will only go in one way.
I get more consistent shoulder bump measurements since switching to them. YMMV
I agree with Quiet Texan, all the products I have purchased from SAC have been top quality.

Do you guys think your runout is improved with the rings compared to the regular ol Forster lock rings?

I no longer measure run out. My Sinclair concentricity gauge just collects dust on the shelf.

I have 6 of them, mostly on bushing dies and mandrel dies but I love them. I do have them in 2 seater dies and they are always spot on when seating a new batch.
