Lyman Split Lock Ring

The Lyman Split Lock Ring is a precision-engineered accessory designed for reloaders seeking secure and repeatable die settings without risking thread damage. Intended for use with standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading dies, this lock ring is ideal for both hobbyist and professional reloaders who require consistent die positioning and easy adjustments. Its innovative split design offers a practical solution for maintaining die alignment and protecting valuable reloading equipment.

Product Overview

Constructed from durable steel, the Lyman Split Lock Ring features a redesigned split configuration that eliminates direct contact between the set screw and die threads. This design prevents thread deformation and ensures long-term reliability of both the lock ring and the die itself. The ring’s precise threading fits all standard 7/8"-14 dies, making it compatible with most single-stage and progressive reloading presses. The knurled outer surface provides a secure grip for easy hand tightening, while the included set screw delivers positive locking action without marring or distorting the die body. This thoughtful engineering results in a locking ring that maintains die settings through repeated use, supporting accuracy and repeatability in the reloading process.

Further Product Details

The Lyman Split Lock Ring is suitable for use with any reloading die or press that accepts standard 7/8"-14 threads, making it a versatile choice for reloaders working with a variety of calibers and die brands. Its split design allows for easy installation and removal without special tools, and the set screw can be tightened with a standard hex key (not included). This lock ring is particularly valued in setups where frequent die changes or fine-tuning is required, as it allows users to maintain precise die settings from session to session.

Routine maintenance involves keeping the split ring clean and lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. As with all reloading equipment, users should ensure the lock ring is securely tightened before use to maintain consistent die alignment. The Lyman Split Lock Ring is a standalone accessory and is typically sold individually; users should verify the number needed for their die sets. Lyman backs its reloading accessories with a limited manufacturer’s warranty, and there are no special licensing or regulatory requirements for purchase or use of this component in South Africa. For reloaders seeking to protect their dies and maintain accuracy, the Lyman Split Lock Ring offers a practical and reliable solution.
