Does anyone know if Lee sizing dies will work in a RCBS sizer/lubricator?

No, they won't. Lyman and RCBS lube/sizer dies are interchangable.

The Lee Sizing die mounts on any press with 7/8 X 14 threads.

Thanks for the info guys! I must say that as I learn more I am impressed with the simplicity in Lee equipment.

Phil...
My thoughts too! I love the stuff and the folks at the factory are super. I was talking with a lady at Lee about the molds and how I put one aside for Grandson #2 and his rifle, along with a Lee Loader in 444 and a Lee baseball cap. Well... yesterday in the mail I got a large envelop from Lee. Inside was two catalogs a 2000 and 2002, the birth years of my grandsons, with a note saying to put those aside for them also! Unbelievable! This has always been my experience with this Company!
When you are using a Lee sizer, be sure that you get a coat of Liquid Alox on the bullets before you push them through or you will cause the die to lead. With a new die, I put a small amount of Liquid Alox on a Q-tip and swab the inside of the die to get things started.
If your interest in the die is for the TLC432, a .432 sizer must be special ordered. They charge $25 but no shipping and it will take a couple of weeks. You've got to call the office to order it. It's actually a kit.. you get the sizing die, a bottle of Liquid Alox and a round bullet storage container that fits on top of the die.
And for my final tip for using the die... keep a 1/4" X 3" carriage bolt near by because as you run your last couple of bullets through the die they will not make it up and out the top. Place the bolt on the punch, raise the ram, and they will fall into the container.
