This is not a new idea, but it's how many precision rifle shooters are obtaining extreme accuracy from their long range muzzle loaders.
They're using a special type of full form resizng die that is grooved to match the barrel rifling.
That way when the bullet is loaded, it will fill the grooves without needing to obturate to fill them.
This is very much like the false muzzles of the old days, that also imparted rifling grooves into the projectile during loading which matched the bore of the rifle.
Swinglock also makes a smooth adjustable sizing die.
The dies are available in any caliber .50 and smaller.
Making a full form adjustable die requires that a piece of the barrel be supplied in order to match the rifling.

Luke from Arrowhead Rifles made a 2 minute update video showing how he carefully lines up the bullet with the rifling before ramming it through the full form die.

Drawing from patent papers. through a distant board with such precision that one would say only a single shot had been fired." 12 Clark reputedly said to Joseph Henry, "You say . . 'every man ought to make himself a master in some one thing.' Well, I think I am the best rifle shot.
