Can you use 458 Win dies for 458 Lott

Can you use 458 Win dies to load 458 Lott? I was thinking 38 Special - 357 Mag - 357 Max you can use the same die set. 44 Special - 44 Mag. same die set. A friend has a set of 458 Win. for free, but I won't take them if they won't work.

Thanks Craig

Thanks I figured as much. I guess the die companies would rather sell you two set than mark them like the pistol dies. Craig

Coyote wacker, I have seen 45-70 dies used for the 458 Win and the 458 Lott, as well as the 45-70. I guess I know some very cheap people.

I had a 458x2"one time. As we had no dies bigger than 375H&H . I neck sized with the bottom of a 300 win mag die.
