Putting lock rings on the top AND bottom of dies

[Nemesis Lead]

Does anyone put lock rings on the top (i.e., above the toolhead) AND bottom (i.e., under their toolhead) of their reloading dies? I have thought about doing this as I occasionally have locking rings on dies that come loose. I also have a bunch of extra lock rings.

Are there any issues with doing this that anyone can see?

I do it on my 9mm U die. For some reason it was always coming loose. It's good to go now.

I have put them below if there was not enough room above but never both. Don't see how it could hurt though as long as the bottom one doesn't hit anything.

I've done it on my EGW 9mm sizing dies and and a couple of others. If there is enough threads, I usually do it.

It won't hurt. Have you tried the ones with set screw? On top of TH of course.

Yes

On my XL650 trim die I have one on top and one on the bottom.

I have the RCBS set screw type and just can not get the set screw tight enough. I put shot under the set screw and they some times still move. I bit the bullet and ordered the Hornady crossbolt nuts with the flats. They seem to be the best type that clamp the whole die diameter without relying on a set screw jammed into one tiny spot on the threads.
