Quote from Reloader on December 31, 2008, 3:44 pmYes, I use RCBS dies in my 550. Only because I already owned them when I bought the dillon press. I did have to buy another crimp die for each die set though. No problems using them.
When purchasing new dies for the dillon 550, I will always buy the Dillon dies, they include separate bullet seat and crimp dies, and the quick release insert is pretty nifty for cleaning dies.
