Lee Collet Die question

I'm thinking of trying a Lee collet die for my 6BRA. They don't offer it though.
So, my question is, could I use a Dasher or 6BR version?
 
 
Keep your eye out for a 6PPC die on eBay. They are discontinued but you see them from time to time. I bought one specifically to neck size 6BRA cases to send in to Harrell Precision with a die order. The die will work for PPC, BR and BRA.
 
243 Win- Takes 25 lbs pressure (measured) on my Rockchucker handle to size the neck enough to hold a bullet. Using Lee instructions. There are other methods, that may work better?

To much "exercise" for me.

If you’re a long-time user of Lee Collet Neck Sizing Die you may notice we have modified the Collet so a small portion of the neck protrudes through the end of the Collet-Sizing portion. This often-requested modification was implemented in 2019.

This change allows the portion of the neck that protrudes above the Collet to remain in its fire formed condition. This provides a natural flare to the case neck allowing easy and concentric seating of bullets. This is especially important when seating cast bullets or low drag coated bullets.

Noted author and cartridge designer M. L. McPherson has suggested this modification for years for its ease of use, better function and improved accuracy
