But for hunting rounds I would definitely FL resize. If I should need a fast follow up shot I don't want to have to be messing around with a less than slick bolt. I would want the least resistance possible. Shooting competitively or just for targets is another story.
it is over size, but it will still chamber, you expand the neck so it will not fit back in the chamber, then resize the minimum amount to make it fit the chamber better for better brass life.
some chambers which are within spec could vary enough to cut brass life dramatically just a fix for that problem. if you form cases for wildcats you want all the brass life you can get.
