Yes. If your brass is new and not hard it will expand and seal to the chamber and only shrinks back a few thousands if that much. If you check your neck wall thickness is probably between .015 and .016 thick. Multiply that times 2 (once for each side) and subtract that from the id of the chamber in the neck area which will be around .344.
So lets say .344(Chamber neck diameter) -.031(total neck thickness on diameter) is .313(Id of fired brass neck) and it shrinks .002 to .311. the outside diameter of the projectile is very close to .308. that leaves .003 +or- clearance between the neck bore of fired brass to the OD of the projectile.
