Posted By: bonecrusher338 Where do I get the brass set screws for Reloading Dies? - 12/05/12
Does anybody know where I can get these little brass set screws for my RCBS dies, some of mine are stripped out. They are the Allen head type.
Thanks.

I get 'em from Lowe's/H'Depot. But I don't bother looking for Allen heads, slotten round heads do quite well for me.

Try McMaster Carr, I know they have brass tipped set screws which may last longer and not strip out like brass ones.

Try this..........drop a piece or two in the threaded hole and use a steel allen set screw. The lead shot keeps the steel from coming in contact with the die and buggering up the die!!!

That's what I do^ The lead shot holds better than brass and the steel set screws are easily found at any hardware store.

Call RCBS and talk to customer service, they will probably send them to you for free.

Don't bet on "probably". They will send them to you at no cost.

You paid too much. Get some Hornady rings, a bargain at any price. grin
