Yeah, makes my brass more uniform and my loads seem to be better for it.
I started sizing my new cases before after I noticed a lot of semi-deformed cases in a bag of .220 Swift brass. Some of it looked as if it had been stepped on.
If I were using some high end brass like Lapua I doubt that I would bother. But I don't even have any of it so a quick pass though my sizing die is what I do when I'm using new brass. But I haven't bought any brass in a few years now. Stocked up a while back and still using it. Glad I did and am.
