Can I use RCBS dies in a LEE loader ? I am new to reloading, I want to make sure before I buy something. I bought a LEE press kit, but it did not come with the dies.

Thanks!

  Any dies with 7/8X14 threads will work [;)]

  If you have a press, yes, any dies will fit it.
  
  Note however that a 'lee loader' is a very simple hand tool that you use a hammer on- I kid you not. So, 'lee press' to avoid confusion. [;)]

  PROHUNTER01,
  
  +1 on what jonk said. Make sure if you buy on line you are getting a 'press' not a 'hand-tool'.
  
  One thing to remember is to make sure you use the same manufacturer bases with the dies. These are manufactured to match the dies as far as depth goes for the round. A few thousandths will make a difference when the round goes to chamber. -good luck
