Exactly.

You can buy a Redding body die, but reaming the Lee FL die does the job and for a lot less.

You'll always need a body die with the Lee Collet neck sizer. This is the way I solved it. It takes some work as these dies are pretty hard.

You can also use a larger size, same body. You can use a .308 FL die as a body die for a 7mm-07, etc.

This one was a 22-250, I didn't have the next size up, so I reamed the neck.
