Tips on using Lee dies in a Dillon

Trooper · December 23, 2000, 02:29 PM

I want to use some Lee dies in my Dillon 650, but they are too short---the lock ring won't lock the die in place---not enough thread above the tool head. Anyone been able to figure it out?

you can use the LEE dies,BUT you must put the locking ring UNDER the tool head,just screw the ring off put the die in the tool head and the screw the ring on from the bottom.The dies lock in place just fine this way and it won't hurt anything.
