    As long as your loading for the same rifle just continue neck sizing, you may want to anneal your cases shortly in order to mantain decent neck tension though, if the cases were to be used in a different rifle you would full length resize before firing as the chances are they wouldnt fit properly as they are fireformed to a different chamber, but in the meantime continue the way you are, if your load isnt too hot the brass will give quite a bit of good serviceable life..primer pockets will probably be the first thing to go!.
