NO!! It does not, Ethan is wrong. The die threads are either 1-1/4"x12 (Lee Dies) or 1-1/2"x12 (All other brands). This press takes standard 7/8"x14 threaded dies. Do the math and 1-1/4" does not fit in 7/8".

No this press will not load the .50 BMG as the dies for the .50 are larger in diameter (1½") and will not fit into the press.
