I don't know what SWC only means (or what SWC is), but in general RCBS dies will work. I use a set of RCBS .223 Remington dies in my Lee single stage press no problem.

'swc' stands semi wad cutter, which refers to the shape of the bullet this die can seat. it's been the traditional revolver projectile and it's still the most commonly used one, especially for bulk ammo.
newer revolver caliber seater dies come with 2 stems, one for swc and another for fmj, jhp, and other "modern" pistol bullets. this one's old school and only comes with swc stem.

Oh, okay. I do know what a semi-wadcutter is, but I was confused about how a die could be SWC-only and assumed that it was referring to something else here. That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
