Yes, some compression is better than leaving an air gap. Be sure the projectile is seated, but don't give the loading lever a good hard PUSH. Firm, but don't go into bubba mode.

Too much compression with 777 is not a safety issue; it simply results in inconsistent burning, and thus inconsistent velocities. Too little compression, that is, an air gap, is a safety issue.
