I sized some new never fired brass today. I noticed the FL sizing die only really worked the neck. Do you guys load light loads for the first round or can I load my normal (slightly over max) round. Will I see accuracy problem on the first round ?

Usually use my normal loading even for new brass. that is when it is at its strongest anyways. I dont bother sizing new brass unless the odd one got a dented mouth when in shipping.
Call me prudent.....the body of the case is already up to spec. so it shouldn't be worked by the FL die. Are these the same brand of cases that you worked up your "above max. load" in? I make it a point to not work above max. unless it is a cart. that is loaded way below max. I just don't like what you're doing with max. loads new cases or not. I seldom get my best accuracy with near max. loads. When dealing with max. pressure, a hot day can put you further over and you could get into press. trouble, if out hunting, you could get a case stuck in the chamber or a case separation, tying up your gun, while bullwinkle runs to the next province. I'd fall back and regroup IMHO....
