I have thought about this as well using new rifle brass. Then I thought:

1- If the factory was loading these same cases for new ammo would they be resizing each case in a die?

2- Is primed brass already full length resized compared to cases bought unprimed? I doubt one is different than the other except one has a primer and one does not.

Since , like mentioned above , the factories sell primed brass they obviously do not expect the user to full length resize the brass.

I never have full length sized my new rifle cases. My old .223 shot some great targets using new brass that was only neck sized. For handgun I have never sized new brass.
