can i use 6.5x284 win dies for 6.5x284 norma chamber?

I have a set of redding competition bushing dies for 6.5x284 win my chamber is 6.5x284 norma,since I will be using bushings of a specific and as of yet undetermined size would I be able to use these dies? Or at least the seater? It's a 3 piece set,micro seater,micro top bushing neck,and body die.
 
I believe they are just the same. I have a Cooper 6.5 X 284 that was used to be labeled 6.5 X 284 Norma and my Redding 6.5 X 284 dies work great.
 
FWIW the 6.5X284 Win and a 6.5X284 Norma reamer are different. Whether the dies are interchangeable I do not know. I muddied things I think : )
 
Both the Lapua and Norma cases are a tiny bit larger in diameter at the base, but the 6.5x284 Win die will still work.
I have chambered rifles with a 284 Lapua reamer, and the .284 Win dies work with no problem at all..
