222 Rem Forster Ultra seater for 223?

I have a 222 Rem Ultra seater and I'm rebarreling to 223. Can I use the same seater, them being so similar in case measurements?
 
I don't know if it will work or not, the .223 is .050" longer than the "Deuce", but has a lot shorter neck. If not for about $25.00 of less you can get the chamber insert for the .223 directly from Forster. I got a Forster Micrometer Seater die from a buddy that was for .257 Roberts Ackley Improved. I converted it to 6.5X55 by getting the chamber insert and a new seating stem from Forster direct. I think it was $39.00 for both of the needed pieces.
 
I believe they both use the same stem, so I could just change the chamber insert? I wasn't aware they sold them, thanks
