Seems to me, that breech seating would probably disprove the idea of sizing before seating being necessary, unless the bullet is vastly oversize. In which case either the blend is wrong or the mould is wrongShot many thousands of plain based breech seated bullets that were not sized, that would consistently shoot under an inch at 100, and under 2" at 200.
If you are getting a lot of variation in the diameter, I'd be looking at the pot temp, mould temp and the casting pace. I can run a 20lb pot and come out +/- 1.0gr top to bottom, on 170gr up to 400gr, and 80-90% will be +/- 0.3 gr. Diameter shouldn't really be a consideration if the mould is closed properly, and it was the right blend, to cast to the proper dia to start with.
I've had moulds that would not cast to the proper size with varying blends, some were small, some were too big. Got one downstairs right now that will not cast to the stated dia with any blend, can't use it the way it is, everything comes out too small. It is supposed to go .412, won't crack .410.
