Quick Question: what this Die do, and do I need it

[Diamondback Dave]

jumping in here for want of a better place in the forum...I use both a Lee Pro 1000 (cowboy loads mostly, 38/357) and a Lee Classic Turret press (multiple calibers.) I have gotten used to both (yes there is a shakedown period and YES the Pro 1000 progressive is faster...) but I am not finding a die set for 223/5.56 for the turret press, so far looking on Midway only; is anyone using non-Lee dies for this cartridge, in the Lee Turret press?

...and to answer my own question sort of, it looks like I want the "Ulitmate" dies for Lee Turret, not the Deluxe dies I've ordered in the past. Is it that easy?

I dont own one, but I would have thought any standard thread-pitch dies would work in the Lee Turret.

I bought 3 of them when they were on sale. Green box label .223 Pro 1000 . I think I bought them all then! lol
