Forgive my silliness, but I have never used a lubesizer before. I am about to buy a lyman 450. Which dies does it use? I assume any Lyman sizing die will work. Will RCBS sizing dies work. Will star dies? (I know lee dies wont)

I have always pan lubed, but I'm ready to step up the game a little.

Thanks

Lyman or RCBS work.

I have three 450's and I have used RCBS dies in them, but prefer Lyman dies. Some say the RCBS dies are the same, but I have found that they don't all fit as well as the lyman dies and the lyman dies often have more lube holes so they do mulitple grease groove boolits better IMHO. Star or Saeco dies don't work on Lyman or RCBS machines.

I have 2 450's and two RCBS, and agree with MTGRS about Lyman dies and for the same reasons.
