I ran across a good deal with both lachmiller and herter reloading dies,

I have read that CH D built some of the herter dies, and lachmiller built their own. Have also read they were both quality dies, and should work fine.

I have also read that RCBS bought out LACHMILLER in the 60s or early 70s.

Does that mean RCBS DIE SET UPS can be used for Lachmiller dies?
I am new to reloading and need to know.

Your going to want to look for instructions for the dies you have. Not a company that bought them and may not make the same product.

Looking at a few pictures they look like standard reloading dies. You should be able to read rcbs instructions, or the guide in your reloading manual and figure it out.
