Default Resizing question

I reload 44 Special with RCBS dies (carbide sizing die).
Is there merit in sizing only to bullet seating depth, rather than full length resizing, as long as the cases chamber easily ?

Thanks, John

You can do it but take into consideration your revolver has six different chambers that wont be exactly the same size and, just about nobody is a good enough shot to see any increase in accuracy from a handgun. Making the assumption you intend on accuracy improvement by doing this. My opinion, just pull the handle all the way.
