I know that with each loading a bottle necked rifle round gets longer and needs to be trimmed. What I didn't know is that with each loading the case neck also gets thicker. Or does it?

I read on another forum that case necks get thicker with each loading, I have never heard of this. Do they really get thicker or was this guy mistaken?
