I have done that before. especially when using an off brand bullet. Like a plated bullet for instance. I just always make sure the round I'm loading seats in the barrel correctly.  One of the first things I learned when I got into hand loading is that you can't always go by OAL unless you are using the bullet listed in the manual. Every different brand of bullet or weight has a different ogive.

Every time I load a batch of ammunition. It only takes a second, and I like to ensure that everything is feeding and chambering correctly before loading a bunch of ammo.

for semi autos l buy a chamber gauge You cant really see with them if the round goes all the way in and its just easier to use. When i loading a large batch of ammo i check about every couple hundred rounds. I would hate to admit the times ive loaded 500 or more rounds to find out they wont run in one of my guns. I have a chamber guage in 223 308 300bo 300hmr and 6.5 grendel. Pistols are much easier. You can just pull the barrel out and use it.
