Hornady Lock n Load Die Bushing

That the bushings like to walk.

I wonder if that's from O-ring compression. I have some that do that... I just assumed it was the material the bushing is made of wearing a bit, but after my last episode of die popping, I think it's a worn or compressed O-ring.
 
Die lock ring adjustment can be difficult on progressive presses with tightly clustered dies. That's where I consider the bushings advantageous. I have no use for them on a single stage press, or when loading rifle ammo for hunting or precision target shooting.

I could agree, except when dies frequently come loose before the adapter lets go, making it very much like a press with no adapters. Channel locks to grab the base of the adapter would seem like standard equipment with an LnL AP like mine. That sometimes requires removing other dies to get to the one you want to adjust.
