Title: reloading Q
Post by: KFhunter on August 31, 2012, 03:58:59 PM: Will a die from a redding fit on a dillion?

thinking of getting started reloading and checking out companies with different die and offerings.

example:

The only ones making a .243AI die is redding, but I'd like a Dillon press so would the redding dies work on the dillon press,or RCBS ?

I want

10mm/40SW
.243 AI
.243
30-06
9x25 dillon
.308
6.5 Grendel
6.8 SPC
.300 WM

bunch more too eventually

Threads and such are all to universally accepted standards.. I use Redding in my RCBS and Lee presses.. and I have used RCBS dies in a Dillon Press way back when I had a buddy that owned one.
