Default RCBS question

The other night I was watching a show on the outdoor channel, they were touring the RCBS factory, at one point it was mentioned that RCBS manufactures Dies for another company, and puts the dies in a different color box with this company’s name on them.
I use RCBS and Lyman dies mainly, but also have a couple Hornady as well as Lee.
So I do not think it is one of the mentioned dies.
Dose anyone know who RCBS is making dies for, just curious.

I would also like to know. Maybe the other is cheaper. Nothing wrong with getting the same dies cheaper...

RCBS is part of the bigger ATK but I do not see another "reloading" equipment company under their wing??

I may be completely wrong on this, but if I had to make a guess, I would say Dillon, my reason is two fold, one Dillon being comparably the new kid on the block, and also reading a little history on Dillon, they started out cutting RCBS Dies down for there early presses,. But then this is just a guess.

The die someplace else might be cheaper, but you can't beat RCBS for customer service. I have lost and broken stuff that they have replaced for free.
