So long as you can get the bolt closed to your satisfaction, they won't be an issue. If you prefer them a little looser, you can fix that next time you load them, but no need to break them down just because they close a little snug....he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. ~Thomas Jefferson

I always resize the necks, and only the necks. They're often dinged a little or slightly out of round. Without it, once in a while I've had a bullet fail to start correctly and crush a new case.

I always treat new brass the same as range pickups. FL size, trim, the whole routine. It's production line stuff, so is suspect by my judgement."A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind."

I've only neck sized new Remington brass and been just fine, as taiga noted if you can get the bolt closed your good. I've had a little trouble flaring cases out when crimping and shooting them after a hard bolt close has re shaped them perfectly.

Yup, like Andy and gunbugs I treat factory new like range pickup.
Biggest problem I have observed on my bench is stuff enough out of round that bullets don't seat correctly.
If yours are accurate and eject fine and "some" force on the bolt isn't too bad I probably wouldn't break them down either.

Yes, resize the necks at least. If you don't you won't have the same tension on the bullet as you will the next time after you resize. Best answer is do a full length resize and oh by the way...check length too...factory QC sucks.Somewhere along the way I have lost the ability to act politically correct. If you should find it, please feel free to keep it.

neck up then back down to create a false shoulder. A real pain and expense esp. with good brass to begin with.
Lesson learned I fireform cases first then size brass to my specific chamber.

I FL size and trim all new brass. I also give them a good inspection. I loaded with new brass for several years and can not remember finding a bad caseing in a batch. It is not that way now. I feel lucky if I don't have a bad case or two in each pack.

I've had cases from Winchester that had faults making them unusable.
When sizing NEW brass, the die barely touches it, as it doesn't need much sizing. But DO, put a dab of lube on the base of the case. I stuck one, one time ago, sizing NEW brass without lubing.
Of course, my experiences may not be the same as that of others.

Don't get me wrong. I love Winnie cases, but every batch of new ones needs to be inspected carefully. I'm in the habit of buying 10 boxes or 200 cases at a time (however they're packaged) for a "batch" of same-age cases to go through life together. I can't remember the last time I came out with 200 useable cases from a batch of 200."Lay in the weeds and wait, and when you get your chance to say something, say something good."
