pulled loads...

[Wardy]

I changed my powder/bullet combination and found 2 nodes that I want to expand on and do some chrono work. I pulled some leftover bullets from the load test and was wondering if it would be better to resize the brass I pulled the bullets from or would it be ok to just powder em up and shoot em?

Thanks...

I'd resize the necks just to make sure they keep the same neck tension as the rest. FL sizing wouldn't be necessary though.

I was kinda thinking that, to be sure it wouldn't be the same spring back as a freshly sized case after beating the bullet out of the neck with one of the inertia bullet pullers.

^^^ This. The necks aren't the same size they were before you seated the first bullets. If you happen to be running them through an auto-loader, you could get significant setback.
