Redding Competition Seating die -- can I use same die for 260 Remington and 6.5CM?

I know I need a separate 6.5CM sizing die (leaning towards the Redding type S full body sizer), but can I get away with using the same Redding Competition Bullet Seater die I already have for 260 Remington? Seems like it should work as the bullets would be the same.

Also, do you think the neck sizing bushing would be about the same size also?

Creed case bigger around in shoulder area, mine gets tight trying, if you had the other combo, creed seater, you'd be home free.
 
Does a Redding comp seater actually touch any part of the case, rather than just the bullet?

Its cut out to match the case, yes. Obviously its not as tight as a seating die but it is closely matched. Rather than squeezing tight its just parallel, it runs right along the side.
