Yes you can, definitely. You could also use a 7BR sizer as a body die, a Pacific 6.5 neck sizer die for short cases and a Pacific 6.5 seater die.
 
I could not use the Redding 7mmBR full-length S-type die alone for my chamber. The 7BR bushing die did not either push the shoulder back enough or size some part of the neck to adequately size the case. I thought it would work and if I do not mind a harder than normal bolt closure it does. I just do not like forcing the bolt on a silhouette gun with a light trigger where time in a factor. If you want a great seater die, then I suggest one buy a new Wilson 6mmBR seater and have the Wilson factory open it to 6.5mm. Give them a call if you like their seater dies.
 
I got my custom dies from Hornady. Two die set for about $125. I ordered my FL die as follows. FL, Neck bushing die, shoulder bump, & small base, all in one. Had to send them 3 cases shot 3 times.
