Are die interchangable?

[cornman]

Are all dies standardized for size?Can one use RCBS Dies on a Lee press for example?

Thanks

no, not all are the same... some dillon dies for example are proprietary threadings.

but, to answer your question, you can use lee dies in an rcbs rockchucker, or redding or rcbs etc... most of the dies/presses are standardized.

the 'standard' size for dies these days is known as 7/8x14.Most all recent dies and presses are interchangble.

My RCBS+Lee dies work in my Classics cast, RS2 and Dillon 450. Sometimes w/ the Dillon and the Lee dies you have to put the lock-rings on from the bottom. No other problems.

You've been given some good advise but the short answer is yes. Standard die threading in the industry is 7/8" diameter and 14 threads per inch. As mentioned, the dies for the Dillon square deal are proprietary but there are also some large dies for calibers such as the .577 Snyder and 50 Cal to mention a couple, but 99.9% of dies will work on any press.
