Jim , most of my paper patch loads are tight enough you don't need a seating die, but if you pull the bullet there will be a slight pop when it clears the case.
I also seat my parrallel sided bullets a bit deeper than most. But it all comes down to what the rifle and the target tells us.
I got started on deeper seating, and tighter fitting bullets than many suggest by close examination of a bullet pulled from an original Sharps 44-77 Creedmoor round. You could actually see where the bullet had been seated into the case nearly a half inch and could see a slight ring on the bullet at the end of the case mouth.
