Absolutely correct.

Let's think about this for a minute. Do you think the bullet knows where it is sized? Whether it's run through a sizing die or is sized when it hits the throat? I like to run my cast bullets just a tiny bit oversized to make sure that I get a good fit in the bore. Most of the bullets I shoot in handguns (whether revolver or semi) are shot as-cast. As long as the cartridge will chamber well enough for reliable function, I don't bother with sizing.
