Can Lee dies be used on a Dillon XL650?

[CanuckShooter]

I would assume that they would work the same since the threading is probably universal. The only part I am concerned about is will the Lee Expanding Die/Powder Charging Die accept the Dillon Powder Measure? Are the Lee and Dillon powder measures and powder/expander dies designed to connect using the same mechanism?

The ONLY reason I am considering the Lee dies, is because I can get them for about $15 or so less than the Dillon dies. Or should I just stick with the Dillon dies for some reason? Not sure how the Dillon carbide and Lee Carbide dies compare in terms of quality/durability.

Thanks

If the price difference is only $15 - I'd go with the Dillon. Smoother carbide, nice anti-corrosion external finish.

CanuckShooter, would you drive a Porshe and stick a Ford engine in it?

Yes to answer your question. For .40cal the Lee dies seat lower than the Dillon and are better at removing the Glock bulge if you have brass shot from a Glock. The Lee Collet dies and FCD for rifle cartridges work very well and I recomend them.
