so the bullet can seat itself deeper

Absolutely, bullet setback upon repeated chambering is a significant risk factor that is difficult to diagnose after the gun explodes.

Gotta keep an eye on that seating depth, critical for an LEO that loads and unloads daily.

My common sense solution for anyone who loads and unloads daily is after removing the magazine, ejecting the chambered round into a container that fills up with once-chambered rounds. All those then make fine practice ammo, because no round will ever be chambered more than twice, and once-chambered rounds will never risk causing a failure in a critical situation.

Of course, if those are expensive Cor-Bon rounds or the like, this gets expensive. On the other hand, you should shoot hundreds of rounds with your carry round, to be CERTAIN you gun doesn’t have trouble with them.
