Clamp the sprocket flat in a bench vice, spin the hib/wheel it, tighten a lot from the rim. Take out, put on lock ring, then clamp lockring flat in the vice, again turn the whole wheel to tighten.
That will gt it about as tight as you can without breaking anything.
(To ensure you really have got it as tight as possible without breaking anything, tighten until something breaks, then back it off just a bit - that will be the maximum point)
