As Korny351 said, it depends on whether or not you got carried away when you adjusted the crimping die "a little tighter".

Go ahead and seat one to the proper length and then pull the bullet. If it looks like the case mouth dug in as it was seated deeper you should pull all of them and start over by resizing with the depriming pin removed. If the bullet looks okay reseat all of them and have fun shooting.

Use the barrel to test your cartridges for chambering. Don't try to use it for setting max cartridge length.
