No.
Dad got belts of 7.62 from a friend in the Reserves, another friend pulled the bullets and used 150 he Hornadys. That was in the 70s and 80s, he still has a bunch.
Later he had issues with the 150gr Coreloks in 7mag.
Being a border, he had bought hundreds of rounds before he knew they didn’t suit him. By then I was loading, I pulled them and replaced with Partitions.
Someone will have a fit,
we did it, it worked. Never had a loose bullet.
Several occasions, hundreds of rounds.
Someone else, different brass?
Might not work.
Question for those who do,
have you ever not?
Or do you do it because you feel you should? It really depends on how it feels when you seat the bullet. If there is still neck tension, I don't bother resizing. If the first few I try are loose, I'll run the rest of them into the sizer without lube, just to bump the neck a little bit. Probably only .060" or so, so I don't have to remove the decapping pin. Did that the other day, in fact...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Getting into reloading to save money is like getting married for free sex.

Lee Collet die is quick and easy.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

For those that are like myself...I would never think of not partially resizing the case necks.

After pulling bullets, is it necessary to resize the case or does it not really matter? Not sure if it's necessary, but I do anyways with Lee collets. ^^^^^^^^^ This
Its all right to be white!!
