Obturation

Hey all,
Hope everyone's doing well.
This is kind of a strange question and I'm not sure this question is easily answered , possibly will raise more questions than it answers. This has been bouncing around my head for a while and I figured I'd just ask the experts and stop wondering.
I've seen videos of guys annealing brass, dropping a lead core in the empty case , seating /expanding the core core to fit tight, sizing it all together and loading it as a jacketed projectile. I think we're all familiar with that to one degree or another.
Here's my question:
Is it possible/reasonable to anneal an appropriate case, fill with molten lead and then size it? Basically using the case as a mould. I know there are some variables but is this possible and if so would it produce reasonable projectiles?
I'm not talking about using traditional swaging tools, more like push through sizers.
Let me know what you think or know, please.
Thanks!
