There is a knack to doing the above and a bit of trial and error to get it right depending on powder and if you have enough case length in the first place. But most important is you need to expand the neck to ensure the crush and force the base back hard into the bolt face.
If you have some pistol or shotgun powder it will be the cheapest option.
