Non Dillon dies

Suggested brand dies for calibers Dillon does not offer? 7X30 waters for instance.

Also: Problems I'll encounter using Lee (.45ACP)and Lyman(.44 mag) dies on the used Dillon 550 I just bought?

These are the brands I've been using on single stage.Plan on buying Dillon dies soon though....

Any brand of 7/8-14 thread dies will work on the RL550, as long as they deprime in the size die.

I use rcbs dies in my dillon 450 but had to put my crimp seat dies in a lathe and take .100 ff the bottom to allow for proper crimping depth
