The resized, empty case will fit loose in the chamber because a bullet hasn't been loaded in it yet and will have a smaller diameter.

As for the bullet, it will be almost the same size as the barrel, but the rifling is about .002 narrower than the bore and grips the bullet as it is fired, imparting spin.
