Yes it is.

Although for a DR, if the chambers are not exactly the same,
it can create a could of problems IF the brass really does
need FL Resizing.

But if you can get away with Neck resizing only, the dies
will work fine.

Rich,

Here's my experience trying to use 375 H&H (rimless) dies to load the 375 Flanged Mag.

The first brass I had many years ago was unformed BELL brass. This I tried to form using 375 H&H dies. Now in addition to the brass being unformed at the shoulder, it also needed the correct body taper to be formed with the FL resizing die. Using the rimless dies, this just didn't work. The 375 H&H dies scraped the body of the cases and formed a ring down near the solid case head (about 3/8" above the rim).

The brass is just too expensive to ruin it in the forming stage so I went ahead and ordered the correct dies from RCBS. Never a problem with them since.
