>>The RCBS Lock-Out Die is the
perfect die to run in a
progressive reloading press to
determine if a case has been
overcharged with powder or
undercharged with powder.
>>The die features 7/8-14
threads to work in any
standard progressive press.
The lock-out die detects a no
powder or double charged case
and will lock-up the press
movement so you can fix the
problem before proceeding.
>>Works for straight wall
pistol cases only 9mm Luger
and larger.
>>Accessories:
<>Plastic storage case
<>2 cartridge adaptors (1
large, 1 small)
>>Notes:
<>This die comes assembled
from RCBS with a spring loaded
plunger
>>How the Die Works:
<>Once the die is set to check
for the desired powder charge,
a plunger on the inside of the
die lines up with a ball
bearing at the same time the
case mouth pushes up on a
sleeve inside the die.
<>The die locks up when the
sleeve that is pushed up by
the case mouth contacts the
ball bearing.
<>When the powder charge is
correct a ball bearing inside
the die will drop into a slot
in the plunger allowing the
sleeve the case mouth is
pushing up on to move all the
way into the lock-out die.
<>When the powder charge is
low or there is no charge in
the case, the ball bearing
will not drop into the slot on
the plunger causing the sleeve
the case mouth is pushing up
on to lock-out the press.
<>When there is too much
powder the charged case pushes
the slot on the plunger past
the ball bearing causing the
sleeve the case mouth is
pushing up on to lock up the
press.
