    No. But if the base to shoulder is quite a bitess than your chamber the first shot, especially a hotoad, will cause animmediate start to head seperation. The stretching will compound every shot unless limited by resizing technique. Hot loads exacerbate the initial damage in some circumstances because the web is already weakened.
