If you look at the mouth of the bullet seating die that is used with the auto bullet feeder it has a taper that opens the bullet holding fingers. Standard dies and dies from other manufacturers don't have this. If you were to use them the fingers would be damaged and the auto feed mechanism would not function.

Consider getting a LEE Factory Crimp Die that will perform a final sizing and put a taper crimp on the finished round. When I used the LEE 1000 I had a separate toolholder that I put the FCD die in. I then ran all finished rounds through with only one die installed. I manually placed the rounds on the feed slide. You can finish a lot of rounds this way with not a lot of time wasted.
