so the "press fit" on the bullet is enough tension to prevent the low recoil from walking them out of the cases? I bet you could use some type of glue too if you really needed it.

IN this situation upon firing the bullet quickly gets sized down the the chamber throat diameter? Say from .450 to .431", then mashes down a .429" deep lands bore?

I figure it works in that mashing down direction. I can attest the converse does not work as well. As in old Colt .41's. Still I was able to get 5-6" groups at 30 yds. rattling a .386" through .403" throats then down a .401" bore. Exactly the opposite your example.
