    In general, you should be able to use any companies dies as long as they have the standard 7/8" threaad. This would include Lee, Lyman, Reading, Dillin, etc.
    I use Lee dies in my Dillon 550B. Also use RCBS dies in the Dillon and Lee single stage press. There are some non-standard dies out there, Dillon Square Deal B comes to mind, but almost all standard dies are interchangable. Same holds true for shell holders in single stage presses.

    There's nothing wrong with RCBS dies. In fact, other than my ultra-precision reloading, I use all RCBS.

    For my precision .308's/7mm/.223 I use Hornady's comp. series and Forester neck/comp dies.

    The only thing I don't like the RBCS die is their depriming die. The pin always got loosed after so many rounds. Now I use the Lee depriming and never have that problem. I have a RBCS press too.

    Agreed. But the only depriming I do with RCBS dies is for pistol rounds. All of my rifle brass gets de-primed on a Lee Universal de-primer as the first step in the process.
