Do I need to resize new brass?

[canoetrpr]

I suppose it won't hurt but I purchased a batch of 100 Lapua .223 brass for a pretty penny. I'm guessing they are set to factory specs for this calibre and i can begin reloading without resizing. Is this correct.

i would never reload without full length resizing the brass. Yes the brass may be within factory specs but with the handling and packaging, many get damaged necks and dents in the body.

Laupa brass is the best quality you can but. I never size new Laupa brass before loading. A quick chech for any noticable irregularities is all you need.

I wouldn't resize them, just puts unnecessary wear & tear on the brass. I trust Lapua
tolerances from their factory.

I run every case through my neck die, to make sure that there are no dents or marks in the case mouth. Then I chamfer the mouths, and load them.

Yes

Lapua I just load. Just about everything else gets run through the die to round out the necks.
