where to get dillon dies the cheapest, also can S&W 460 dies be used for 45 colts

[eddyelectron]

just looking for somewhere ( preferably here in Canada ) to get dies for my dillon 550.Dont mind going to dillon directly, but prefer to buy in Canada.Am also wondering about the use of 460 dies on 45 colts.The gun shoots them both, so am just wondering if it would be the same for the dies.Just trying to save a buck or two so I can shoot more.Thats the idea after all.

Doesn't Dillon use standard die sets like everyone else?

"...use of 460 dies on 45 Colts..." Depends, yes and no. Some die sets will do it, but the .460 is much longer so the dies won't seat or crimp a Colt bullet without adjusting the die.
You don't need Dillon dies. Any make will do.

Thanks to everyone that posted. I get it, will try shopping around a bit for other brands.Kinda figured that I'd need, and probably want another set anyway for the colts.New to reloading and having lots of fun along the way. Thanks to all who replied.
