well then you are bending the case, probably altering neck tension.
best get it right from the start.

Much higher chance to bend the case with a jacketed bullet.
The lube on our lead bullets, is a aid here.
Any type of bulge, in a large caliber straight wall rifle case, is very easy to see.
To say nut'n of the chambering issues it would cause.
IF-I was bending the case-It would be 'seen' in the run-out check by the dial indicator.
This is the tool I use--
