As long as Dillon uses standard dies, you can use any single-stage press with them.

The difficulty lies in the fact that by removing the dies from the Dillon and reinstalling them elsewhere, you will have to recalibrate the dies with every transfer.

I'd recommend just getting a separate set of dies for the single-stage.

Lee and Hornady have good systems that allow you to pre-set the dies and remove them easily (but it won't be compatible with the Dillon press.

If you get this:

Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press - MidwayUSA

And this:

Lee Deluxe Carbide 4-Die Set 45 ACP - MidwayUSA

You will be good to go.
