When shooting new ammo (223) from my AR-15, & then reloading that brass to be fired in the same AR-15. Does the brass have to be full length resized or does only the neck have to be resized? Thanks

You should be FL resizing. I'm not saying you could not get by with neck size or that someone out there doesn't neck size and swear by it, but normally FL resizing for an autoloader is best.

Semi atuo, Pump, Lever, all need to be full lenght resixed to chamber properly.

Full length and you will be much happier. You won't have to worry about not feeding or getting stuck in the chamber.

What they said

Only Bolt guns can generally get away with neck sizing

And even bolt guns need to be full length resized, usually every third firing.

FL resize for trouble free shooting in an AR.
