Yes, Nat is right. Starting with the latest version 5.7 (that is part of ccp4) refmac makes sure that it uses correct set for free reflections. Hopefully it will remove some of the confusions when switching from one software to another. refmac 5.8 version should definitely have this feature. This version with some bug fixes and feature additions can be found from this page;
