Everyone seems to be out of the Lyman dies I need, .452 and 9mm but I found some RCBS. Will they fit?

They may..and they might not..On some, RCBS dies do not have the rounded groove for the Lyman 45 set screw to fit into.

I think that eould be the top punch you are talking about. If he is asking about the sizing die then I have used both brands and not had a problem in my 450. I was told they will work just fine in either kf the models out there.

The 45 uses a set screw that holds the die in. The 450 and 4500 use a fine thread nut to hold the die in. The RCBS dies usually(!) work fine in a 450/4500 but not a 45.

Learn something new wach day. I meant no disrespect on my previous statement. I had been told other wise and my experience is the only set screw is for the top punch.
