full length resizing vs neck resizing

Whats the advantage of doing one or the other? It seems to me that you can get away with only neck sizing after you have formed the case to your chamber. Is this the correct way of thinking?

For semi autos, straight pull bolt actions, and lever actions though, you lack the camming action to easily seat the loaded round once it gets 'tight' in fitting the chamber.
I keep a set of both dies on hand. I neck size for the bolt guns, maybe every 10 reloads or so full length.
As mentioned, once fireformed, that case will only fit the gun it was fired in reliably. It MIGHT fit another but don't count on it, w/o full length sizing.
