{"product_id":"lyman-split-lock-ring","title":"Lyman Split Lock Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #333; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 15px 0;\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; border-right: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eLyman\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eLyman Split Lock Ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eThread Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e7\/8\"-14 (industry standard for reloading dies)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eProtective coating (corrosion-resistant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eLocking Mechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSplit ring with set screw (does not contact die threads)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eOuter Surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eKnurled for improved grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eFits most reloading dies with 7\/8\"-14 threads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eIndustry standard (approx. 1\" outside diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eIncluded Hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSet screw (pre-installed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fafafa; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFurther Product Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
