Will a Lee Carbide Factory Crimp die fit into a RCBS press? If so, can I use a RCBS shellholder with the Lee CFC die? I think this may prevent future problems.

I don't think the Crimp die will prevent future problems.
You first have to identify the reason the rounds won't chamber. As asked in a response above, will a factory round chamber? If it will the most likely problem was also listed in a earlier response.
Your die was probably not adjusted correctly. The shell holder should almost touch the die at the limit of the press stroke in order for the case to be sized properly. Set your die up this way, size a case and try it in the chamber. If it fits, set a bullet and crimp using your normal crimp procedure and again try it in your gun. If it works, carefully record your die settings and load away.
As to the bad rounds, I think you are going to have to pull your bullets from the rounds using an impact puller or whatever you have.
Remove the decapping pin from your sizing die and resize the bad cases.
