22-250AI dies/RCBS Gold Medal

I am in the process of putting together a 22-250AI and came across a dusty box containing a used, old 22-250 RCBS Gold Medal die set locally.
It seems like a great, inexpensive way to load my fireforming ammo.
Is there any reason not to have my smith use my chambering reamer to re cut the sleeve in the seater?
I know Wilson would be an easy solution as well but I am without an arbor press.
What dies are you 22-250AI users finding to be the best?
I'm using the PTG ACK reamer and Lapua brass.
 
My 22-250AI was also cut with a PTG reamer, but I'm not sure which one. The neck is too tight to chamber factory ammo so I have to turn the necks. Not a lot, just enough to clean them up. But, since I'm turning the necks I use a Redding bushing die.

I did not plan to turn the necks, as this was to be a no turn reamer. But it shoots so well that I don't want to do anything else to it.
 
Mine was also a Pg&t (I think) I however do not need to turn my necks and I'm running them into a redding s bushing dies with a .241 bushing (I think again) .. ??? However for fireforming loads I just have a set of RCBS FL 22-250 dies.
