Will the RCBS sizing dies fit the Lyman 4500? Reason I'm asking is I'm having a hard time finding some Lyman dies ( in stock) and the RCBS are available.

Yes the dies will fit. Lyman 450, 4500 and RCBS lube-a-matic uses the same dies.

Thanks for the reply, I wonder why RCBS puts 4 lubes holes in their dies and Lyman has 8 holes. Seems like the two rows of holes would work better than 4 holes, just wondering.

Top punches are interchangable, too, though the numbers do not necessarily coincide.

I printed out all the different top punches from Castpics, nice info to have handy. I knew the tP's would interchange just wasn't sure about the dies. I have to say the first couple hours setting this luber up I didn't care for it much, Now it's a piece of cake and enjoying it very much. Thanks to all the folks here.:drinks:
