RCBS Lock-Out Die Review

I'm giving this item 3 stars because of the following:

* This item does what it should -- it'll stop you from completing the downstroke on any progressive when setup properly.
* The warranty replacement of plastic tips through RCBS
* The overall quality of the construction is excellent

However, it will not get 4 or 5 stars from me due to:

* It only works for pistol calibers, and really only 9mm and larger (it is just not sensitive enough for small grain reloaders -- 25 auto/32 auto/380)
* It causes a lot of problems, when there is only 1 problem that needs to be dealt with

While the physical feedback is obvious and excellent, in a progressive press when this thing performs its "Lock Out" you now have a much bigger problem than 1 cartridges powder charge. You have 4 - 8 stations that are about to index and did not receive a full downstroke. Some presses this is easier than others to deal with. For example, on the Hornady Lock-n-Load AP, you can get a 2x2 piece of wood and put it below the subplate and stop indexing, but on a Dillon 650 or 1050, it is nearly impossible to fix once it is locked out. I'd recommend getting either a visual powder check (RCBS, Hornady, etc) or an audio/visual powder check (Dillon) over this die.
