Bmans45 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I just got my Lee U Die . Its almost to short for my Dillon tool head . I had to put a different lock nut on it because I had ti screw it down so far to get it to go all the way to the bottom of the case. Anybody else had this problem? Other than that it works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpo Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I had that issue on my LNL this past week(before I discovered that I had a higher gauge pass rate with my Hornady dies, of course :p ). I just flipped over the lock nut so that the o-ring was on top to make it work for me. If it's working ok with the other nut on there, I'd personally just run it that way.

Laxman2809 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Dillon nuts are typically the slimest. No issues running with the nuts on the bottom of the die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl7evenlxx Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 For the XL750 you need to make a spacer! http://uniquetek.com/store/696296/uploaded/Die-Lock-Nut-Spacer.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeycor22 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I have the u die on all my caliber conversions. Remove the lee lock nut with the rubber o ring and replace it with the gold Dillon ones. Works out just fine and holds tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman301 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I’ve had about 4 of them. There is a difference between them. I’ve had some that will make a pop on the upstroke and some won’t. Brass is lubed. No change to press other than each die. Weirdest thing. I’ve since used a Dillon or MA to decap then use the Lee as a hold down over swage. This combo seems to works well and not stress brass or machine. Both are adjusted to shell plate then backed off 1/4 turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
