Hornady Lock-N-Load Multicolor Die Bushings 2 Pack These bushing are for use with the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP press, These bushings are newly 3D printed using PLA+ so they should hold up better than the old PLA. I've used these bushings on all stages including decapping and sizing but I would be careful using them on rifle sizing because of the stress (see note 1) . I have had no problems on any handgun loading as of yet. You can try using on rifle cartridges but make sure you have them lubricated. As for tightening I do use a wrench but go slowly and not too tight. Issues Note 1: I have had one report that he used one on his 6mm Creedmore Sizing dies and the bushing broke immediately. Issue 2: Using a bushing on the powder drop may have a wobbly effect after a few hundred rounds. A fix for this as with the OEM metal bushings is to add 1 or 2 shims that Hornady sells. I've had good luck on using each color for the same stage on all calibers, it makes it much easier(for me at least) to install them in the right place. I was going to use each color for each caliber but since having about 15 different calibers to load I didn't have enough colors to go around! Note 2: Colors may differ a little than pictured due to different batches of filament used but I'll try to keep them close.
