I like and prefer RCBS dies, that is what I use in my Dillon 550. The die head on the 550 accepts standard 7/8" dies. While Dillon dies are OK, they seem kinda basic, they work but prefer RCBS.
I use two seat/crimp dies, one for seating bullet and one for crimping, easier to set each die for a single action then trying to align up everything in one stroke.

recommended separate seating crimping. In fact Dillon sets on the stations that way. pour powder then seat... oy it's been a while since i've used a 550...
