You may want to check the cylinder after firing a round or two to make sure of your crimp. You don't want to risk "pushing back" the remaining bullets into their cases.

You would be in danger of "push back" with a semi-auto, with a revolver having an undersized bullet "jump the crimp" is the concern.
