For rifle cases yes - for pistol cases, not usually.

Bottle-neck rifle cases stretch a little when fired. Auto pistol cases sometimes actually get shorter. According to the Speer manual it is a consequence of the firing pin strike, since the case headspaces on the case mouth.

For pistol, don't worry about trimming.

edited for punctuation. I need to learn to spell / write, or quit posting.
