Please don't kill me if this is a FAQ-ish question; I did some searching on Google and this site and didn't come up with a definitive answer.
I've got a bunch of new .223 brass that I've been reloading for my AR. In the past I've done a FL resize on the new brass just because it's my standard process, but now I'm wondering if it's necessary.
I've got a Wilson case gauge that I check each case with after resizing and trimming. None of the new brass has needed trimming after resizing that I can recall.
Now, this begs the question, if I'm checking the new brass on the case gauge and it specs out, do I really need to FL resize? Maybe neck resize only or none at all? I suppose the root issue is if it's OK in the case gauge is it OK to go ahead and reload the new brass (assuming the case mouth is in spec)?
Thoughts?
