Can this set of dies be used with 3rd party reloading equipment such as RCBS or other manufacturers?

I have used my set of dies in a Lyman Spartan press to load several hundred rounds with no problems so far. I don't know if this is the recommended use but it works for me. My rifle hasn't blown up yet but I stay within recommended loadings correlated from a number of reloading manuals. Accuracy for me is as good as I get with factory loads but then I'm a half blind, one eared, old fat man and don't shoot that well anyway. Hope this helps. Ken

Yes. The dies can be used in any brand of press. Lee, RCBS, Redding Dillon ect. They are a standard 7/8 and can be used in any press.

I use lee .223 dies and rcbs .308 on my lees press. So, yes they will interchange. Make sure they are 7/8" dies.

I would think it would work with any metal die. I have dies from several different people and it works great.

These dies use the industry-standard 7/8-14 thread pitch, that will work with all reloading presses using standard dies. That includes all Lee, RCBS, Dillon and Hornady presses. Don't have to buy any special press at all. My personal favourite for a single-stage is the old RCBS Rock Chucker. Classic design, available all over the place, and works just fine.Rock Chucker:RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme PressReloader 5:RCBS Reloader 5 Press Special

reloading dies( get carbide) for each caliber you want to reload a reloading manual will also be needed

yes, most dies and presses are compatible, unless you are using a shotgun or 50BMG press.

I doubt that these would work in anything other than RCBS dies, probably a different diameter than Lyman

Yes: Any RCBS, Hornady, or Lee should work you'll need them to reload, so shouldn't be a problem.

Not Normally. Some kits may come with a set but if it does they will be listed by what caliber so you will know what you are getting.Normally the dies are separate because there are so many different calibers you would not want to get them all just the calibers you are going to be reloading.expect to pay anywhere from around $35.00 and up for a set of dies.

I don't have RCBS press, however I see no reason they shouldn't work fine in a conventional press. All my other dies are RCBS and Pacific brands. and this lee set works well. In fact there are a couple of innovations which I quite like.

I haven't gotten around to using these Lee Carbide Dies but I have used Lee dies in the past with an RCBS Press and Dillon.I would assume they still work with no problem. Dies are pretty much standard size as far as I know. Some are taller than others but they fit the same hole in the press.

No, you have to get the specific dies for the caliber you are loading separately.

although I don't own a rock chucker press I have used the Lyman die in my lee press and I am told that both presses use the same diameter and thread pattern so as far as I know they should work in the RCBS press

i've used dillon and other dies in my press, but it's a 1970's rcbs junior. if yours is single stage and the threads are the same, i would assume so. if progressive, they may be more suited to a lee press. why do i believe i have seen threaded inserts for conversion of dies!?

Yes they will work in a RCBS Press and Lee dies are carbide and one does not need to lubricate the cases before starting the process. They are great quality dies.

Don't see why not. If you can buy dies for it it will reload it. I love mine.

This set fits all reloading presses that are produced. All reloading dies have a standard thread and will fit each other reloading presses

Not certain, as I have not tried it. My friend that does own the Big Shot, said that you could use the smaller (not thinner) dies in both machines.
