Will Lee dies fit RCBS press?

[NathanR]

Will my set of Lee Precision dies fit into my buddies RCBS press?

The logical answer is to try it an see, but I am unable to do that at present and I am wondering if anyone has some experience in this?

Thanks,
Nate

RCBS and other kown brand of press will take all RCBS, LEE, Lyman, Hornady, C&C and some other brand of die with standard tread.

They are all same.

99% of press's use the standard 7/8x14 thread pitch for their dies.
The odd ball's are Dillon and the larger class of dies.

....well yes an no.... The Dillon Square Deal uses proprietary dies but the 550/650/1050 use standard dies.

Yes, and the shell holders also fit, but holder numbers are different.

I feel the need to contribute, Hornady Die Bushings don't fit into a Lee press. Ask me how I know. I was looking for a shellholder but the Lee was sold out so I grabbed a RCBS one and it fit into all the demo presses, so when I didn't see any Lee quick-change bushings I grabbed some Hornady ones and assumed they'd also fit. Time to sell them on the EE for +10%.
Presumably, the Lee Quick-change bushings will not fit into a Hornady press either. Just something to keep in mind.

Don't violate that press with Lee products....lol!

You can buy the conversion kit from Hornady to use them in most any press if you desire, it's $20 approximately and comes with 3 bushings.
