Default pistol dies oversizing

Does anyone else find that carbide straightwall dies for rimmed cartridges oversize the crap out of cases?

You end up getting a loaded round where you can see the outline of the bullet. I load for 44mag, 460Smith, 45Colt, 45ACP's, 357sig, 38sp, 40S&W, 9mm, and a few more I probably forgot about.

All the revolver cases seem to show this.

I have started taking starlines advise and only sizing enough case for the bullet to hold

Anyone else doing this? Anyone see a problem partial sizing? I use an deprime die to deprime. So no touble there.
