Yes, it's ok.

All rifles shoot bullets most accurate from full length sized bottle neck cases.

You don't have to trim after every shot. Every 10 to 15 shots should work for you.

You will need to full-length resize anyway after 5-6 loads, or you won't be about to close the action. Neck sizing is pretty much useless, at least so for myself. Some believe it helps accuracy. I haven't seen any yet.

Imho, being able to easily get the cartridge in the chamber because it was FL sized, and you have a little wiggle room, is what i consider to be convenient. Had one gun, learned the hard way, brass needed to be sized to minimum specs. Its all fun and games until the bolt wont close.

My wife had a Rossi R243 (243 Win, obviously) single shot, break open rifle.
Cartridges would not chamber being neck sized only.
Do yourself a favor, full length resize.
Sucks getting to the range & your cartridges won't chamber.
