| Just got my lock n load press setup last night in my stupidity I loaded 25 rounds a little to hot is it ok if I pull the bullets and reload them? |
I have a Cam-Lock puller for each caliber I shoot with the proper insert installed and love them, I pulled 300 factory Hornady 40gr V-Max(got 500 left I might just shoot and see how they do) for the brass since the bullet is a little light for my 1:8 twist and it didn't leave a single mark on even one bullet(reloaded the brass with Hornady 75gr BTHP's )

Quoted:
see handloader magazine article last year the writer shot damaged bullets and almost all shot to the same point of impact out to 200 yards EXCEPT those with a damaged base. They go to something approximating a "liquid" state while travelling in the bore, so there is nothing lost by reusing bullets. As you said, the base must be intact for optimum accuracy.

Try some before you pull any more. They might surprise you. |
