Is there any reason why I can't lock down my Lee .223 re-sizing die from below the toolhead? There just aren't enough threads left on top to get the lockring to hold after getting the proper adjustment for sizing. My Lee 9mm die was almost as short, lockring would barely hold on top. Do Lee dies tend to run on the short side? Thanks,
Chris

Until very recently, Lee dies were on the short side. You can use a lock ring on the underside, or, if you are using the factory lee lock ring, turn it upside down, so the rubber o-ring is up. Then there should be enough exposed thread for the lock ring to hold.

Most of THE various Lee dies I use on my 550 & 650 are a bit short.
Sometimes i put the lock ring upside down,sometimes i use no lock ring.
Control on the new lee catalog,I remember I have read something about a longer threaded part in the newly manufactured dies.
