Redding neck bushing in a L.E. Wilson die

Any issues running a Redding neck bushing in the Wilson die? It says they are interchangeable, but I just want to make sure before I order some.
 
Wilson bushings are tapered, Redding are not. So you can flip Wilsons upside down and get .0005 more neck tension. Very handy unless you anneal every time.

Wilson dies are stainless steel. Redding are not. Bushings are not stainless. If you leave either bushing in a Redding die it WILL rust, especially if using a water based sizing lube.

Must be really humid where you live . Bushings only come out of my Dies for wipe-down cleaning after a session . Never had a rust issue , but then I live in Phoenix , too . Average humidity here is around 16 - 18 %
