I purchased a case of this and the brass looks really nice. Top Brass states that it is 100% processed, fully sized, etc. As dumb as it may sound, would you resize these all over again? I load using Hornady LNL setup and will basically just prime, drop powder and seat the bullet. I always resize new brass since they can come dented etc. But if i could get away from lubing all this brass since it comes 100% processed it would be great. All inputs appreciated.

Top Brass 100% 308 brass

I would think it would be prudent to at least check a handful of them in your rifle's chamber for a "fit test" before loading up any. Once loaded, if they don't fit for some reason, you're really screwed.

They will probably be fine, but why take the chance. It is too easy to check and see for sure.

What he said, check a few cases to be sure and load away.

Just my .02 but how would the neck tension beafter sizing? I have found that neck tension can make a great difference in SD and ES . If you are benchrest shooting a couple of thousandths could make a difference but just for hitting steel it may not make a difference.
