OP was able to vibrate his load down so it was no longer compressing, thats a win win to me. Its good to ask questions and I think its normal to be cautious of new steps in reloading. I think people ask about this because intentionally compressing is not intuitive, for me I haven't read anywhere when or why its needed or an accurate way to measure just how much your compressing. At some point you cant fit anymore and too much compression can unseat bullets coal. Its noted in reloading manuals rarely but thats it, and probably rare anyone would have the same cases and components listed. I think its a good question.
