    Same size,same thread. One of the few things that the industry can agree on. I use Lee dies in an RCBS press, or my Dillon 650.

    They all work but Dillon's seat dies come apart with a clip so you can clean old lube out without changing your settings.

    So do Hornady.
    When dealing with islam one should always ask themselves: "What would Leonidas do?"

    On some Lee dies, you might have to install the lock ring on the bottom of the tool head as the threads don't go far enough up.

    All the major die manufacturers will work with exception of the dies for Dillon's Square Deal presss.

    I use teflon tape on the top of the die threads with Lee dies used on my Dillons, to hold them in place

    The Dillon sizing and decapping die has a spring loaded decapping pin that pops the primer off of the decapping pin. Helps prevent pulling spent primers back into the primer pocket. They cost a little more than RCBS or other major brands but I have several sets of Dillon dies and have never regretted getting them.

    THe Dillon work best in 9mm with the 650xl, but the others will also.

    I have radioused the ends of my decapping pins so spent primers don't grab or lock on the pins corners. Helps a lot with them releasing when pushed out.

    DILLON, LEE, REDDING, etc

    Like others, I've had to put the locknut under the tool head on some LEE dies

    Dillon lockouts work best
