Sizing bullets

RE: Sizing bullets
Sam.

I been down in the mole den trimming 2.6 brass down for the .44-75 Ballard and loading rounds for blowing the case walls out to fit the chamber for the final trim for length. When I do this the cases get loaded with junk powder and odd and end primers I have as well as the bullets, nothing special just something that will blow out the cases and a lot of time I will take .446 GG bullets that wont fit my tight PP chamber and expand the case necks enough so I can seat the bullets. Loaded this way the round wont seat in the chamber so I set the sizing die enough so it sizes the case neck down enough so it chambers. This will swage the bullet shank down inside the case mouth but leaves the rest outside of the case untouched. They still group good doing this and recovered bullets I looked at had no gas cuts and lad cuts are normal with no signs of damage to the bullets.
I don't think I would full length size a round with the bullet in it, it would squeeze it down to far. Just enough sizing so it will load I don't think would hurt.
