Pulling bullets with loaded and primed rounds

[.308winguy]

I made a mistake on my last batch of 50 rounds and need to discard.
Is it safe to pull the bullets on loaded / primed rounds?
Also, I assume I will have to resize the cartridge, or can I simply remove the primer punch pin and reload?
Thanks in advance!

If you have a puller that grips the bullet innthe press you should be able to pull the bullet, then take out the decapping pin from your die, resize, and seat bullet again.

I do not like decapping live primers.

Yes, it's safe to do so, particularly if you're using some like a Hornady Cam Cock Bullet Puller (which is what I use). I've done many pulling live rounds (even factory loaded rounds to put a little more precision into them, like uniforming the powder weights and seating depths). Most of the time, I don't even worry about resizing the necks, unless there's a competitive reason to do so. Usually there's plenty of neck interference to hold the bullets well. Though if this has to do with a semi-auto that needs the cases crimped, I'd made sure they're crimped again.
