To size, or not to size

[Caster]

I just bought a pile of Hornady match 308 brass from a another member here. Great looking stuff, once fired. I have separated it for it's final destinations. The lot I am sending to my Savage model 10PC is what I am indecisive about. This rifle is my most accurate and the one I take great pains with. I neck size only for this rifle and never mix brass (duhh). I only use Hornady Match brass and I plan to add some of what I bought to what I use for this rifle (still separated in lots though)

I was going to full length resize and load them with the load already proven for this rifle, but on a whim, I run several of these once fired cases through my rifle and they all chamber easily. I put a single strip of scotch tape, just enough to simulate the shoulder being a few thousandths longer and I feel resistance before the bolt closes. I neck sized one case and loaded a bullet to proper length and it chambers easily.

Wouldn't I be un-necessarily working the brass by full length resizing? It seems taboo because it's been formed to another chamber, but it fits very well.

My most accurate load is relatively light and pretty easy on brass. Good thing because i like to get the most loading I can safely get. That, and NOT accuracy is why I stared neck sizing in the first place. [i'll never be as accurate as this rifle anyway]

Thoughts?

If your gonna use it in only one rifle and it chambers good, go for it. Necksizing is way easier on the brass, just like you said.

If they all chamber, then I think you are good.

I did have to small base size some once to fit my Encore chamber (FL was not sufficient).

I went through a real headache with my .204 Ruger and some once-fired Hornady Brass that was not entirely uniform. I had to beat several cases out of the gun before I learned to crank the FL down to absolutely "cam-over" (no small base dies in the caliber at the time). Now, with that gun, I chamber the brass *before* I reload it.
