Try it. I am not quite sure what you are intending to accomplish, but a run of one (no primer, no powder) cartridge should give you something to experiment with.

You might wind up reaming out the mouth of the steel sizing die to make the sizing exactly right to not over-compress the case mouth and bullet. Then, I expect you would have a really neat taper crimp die for your .357 revolver.

What benefit that gives you is open to speculation. My first guess is that the "working" of the case mouth would be reduced and your cases might last longer.
