Are Lee Pistol Dies and RCBS Pistol Dies interchangable in a Lee Handloader? I need this info before I make a purchase.
Thanks for your help,
John

  Yes. They both have 7/8x14 threads.

  John, with *very* few exceptions, all dies made in this country can be used in all presses; the 7/8-14 thread is the industry standard. The exceptions are specialty tools such as the those made for the Lyman 310 tongs or essentially custom-made equipment for loading large calibers such as 50 BMG, 20mm & the like.

  Many thanks for the above info - I never realized the standardization facts before.

  Even the shellholders have been standardized. The Lee set of shellholders is a great buy. Because I use several presses at a time and dedicate a separate press to priming or powder dumping, I need several shellholders of each size.
