Reloading the 300 Whisper vs 7.62 X 40 wt

Does anyone out there know if you can reload the 7.62 x 40 Wilson Tactical round with 300 Whisper dies? And what about case forming with them? Just wonder if I can save a little money.

I have a Savage bolt action in 300 Whisper that I've been having a lot of fun with. I shoot only supersonic rounds and the accuracy with Sierra 125 gr FNHP rounds is great. The results on varmints is spectacular. That's the only bullet I've tried so far and it works so well I've just stuck with it. Someday I'll work on a load with a pointed bullet and a load for short range deer.

The only fly in the ointment is feeding the flat point and the ejection issues with the short case length. Ejection is nothing I can't live with but I think the 7.62 x 40 would eject better and give me a little more power. And I think the 7.62 x 40 would be kind of a modern Savage model 340 30-30 bolt gun.
