Lee Press and Redding Dies

[treedoc]

I know it's a stupid question, but can I use Redding dies in a Lee Press. Are the threads the same?

Sorry for the 'case of dumb ass'

Yep, they will fit. The thread standard is 7/8" - 14 TPI unless you get into really big cartridges like a .50 then it's 1/4" - 12 TPI. Some presses have a bushing that you can take out to get both or to use the Hornady Lock - n - Load bushings.

Cheers,

Doc
