Yes, resize it. It may or may not "need" it. My reason is consistency. Each set of dies will be slightly different including the ones at the factory. I want all my ammo to be the same. I want the same neck tension and headspace for every load. Only way I know to do that is to size all my brass in my set of dies, including new brass.

I just yesterday got some new Winchester .45 colt brass. It had to be resized. I would have had to disassemble every round if I had loaded them

I neck size and trim new brass even if it looks OK. I figure it makes them more consistent and I I'd rather be too picky than to lax it my loading procedures.

Good luck with that. It all springs back a tad different so its never going to be the same.
If its needed, that is fine. Note I said to check.
If its not needed then its a preference or an opinion not something that has any basis of fact.
Do you pull down your factory ammo and size the cases? I would like to see that!
I have looked at tons of cases in bags, none of them was in a condition that made sizing a factor (all bright shiny spanking new)
