Are threads standard?

I have a Hornady Case Prep Center and I LOVE it. I'm now working with .223 and am finding a LOT of brass that is crimped. For whatever reason, the Hornady Small Primer Pocket Reamer is sold out everywhere.

I found the RCBS version for their case prep center.

Lyman also has a similar set.

Does anyone know if the threads for RCBS, Lyman, and Hornady are the same?

Several on YouTube have interchanged tools. They all use a standard 8-32 thread. Try threading a rifle bore brush on yours to verify.

I've never reamed primer pockets, but I have mounted a Lyman flash hole uniforming bit on my RCBS case prep center, I think most used the noted thread / pitch combo, & I think you'll find the parts you're looking at will interchange

Bore brushes do fit. The case prep center actually comes with two neck brushes, too.

Just received my RCBS military crimp remover. The threads did match and is working just fine.
