Using 6 BR Rem. die for 6 BR Lapua brass

[TackDriv3r]

I have used 6 BR for a long time and just noticed the headstamp on the full size die which says 6 BR Remington, I wonder why I never tackled that long ago. I use Lapua brass, 105 Hybrids / VLD , Sierra 107's and Vapor Trails and never had any issues with them being used in three 6 BR Norma chambers. I just read that there is a slight difference on case head by .002" of an inch larger for Norma / Lapua brass, and Norma / Lapua brass are .040" longer than Rem brass.
End of the base on fired brass and sized brass is .470" - no change
Slightly above case head measures .469" for fired and sized brass - no change
Brass are Lapua brass
Is it OK to use 6 BR Remington dies for my 6 BR Norma / Lapua brass, chamber is a Norma.
I run 2860 fps on my 28.5 inch barrel, 29.7 grains Varget / BR4 primers. No hard lift or issues. Shoots bugholes.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Every piece of 6BR I have ever sized was done with a die that says BR Remington. It shoots small so I don't worry about it.

If you are using Redding dies, don’t worry about the label on the box.
I contacted Redding about that very issue as I also wondered if I might have dies for the old original Remington 6BR which is indeed slightly different form the Norma 6BR.
Redding said that there was no issue of using the dies for a Norma 6BR case as the dies accomodate the cartridge and the main difference between the two cases is that the Norma case is just slightly longer {ask me how I know… First smith had the old reamer!}
You can fire either cartridge in a Remington chamber but the Norma case will show a slight inward rolled case mouth looking like it was a crimped case.
