Can the Lee reloading dies work in all Reloading Presses Ie. Hornady, RCBS and vise versa.

Thanks

Yes, surprisingly, all the major manufacturers have agreed on that.

I use Lee on my Dillon press.

... and if you have the opportunity, get the Lee Carbide dies. They're harder, and the carbide pistol dies can full-length resize without lube. Not the case with the rifle dies, but they'll still last forever.

And welcome to CGN - ask any questions here, there's a wealth of knowledge.

Thank that's good to know. I'm new at the reloading thing

The Lee dies will fit any press that has it's head block drilled and tapped for 7/8 in National Course. Some presses will have an adapter bushing to make industry standard threads compliant.

Some of the older presses have their own proprietary threads in their presses that will only fit their dies. You don't see that much anymore.

Bearhunter, a small correction. 7/8-14 is the UNF size, not the UNC size. UNC is 7/8-9.
