I do NOT reload without the RCBS lockout die in place. Progressive reloading is doing several things at the same time and it is easy to get distracted. Also, when you've been reloading for a while the process is boringly dependable and it is easy to let your attention wander about three or four hundred rounds down the line.

Like factoryrat says the die only senses large changes like empty cases or double loads, but that is what you are most likely to run into. The lockup really gets your attention.

I use plated .38 bullets so the 3 die set works fine for me as well.
