    Neck Tension.

    If you pull the projectiles from previously reloaded rounds to fit a different type do you need to resize due to possible loss of neck tension?

    Most definitely imo. If have to pull projectiles I will resize the neck just for piece of mind as well.

    If you are worried about decapping them again just remove the button and decapping pin.

    Yep I always resize the neck if I pull a projectile as the neck tension will be different

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Thanks guys for your input re:reloading pulled bullets.
    Knocked a few over (not marked ), so pulled bullets and powder.
    Wasn't sure if I needed to redo necks when reloading
    Advice gratefully accepted

    Interesting discussion.

    Hadn't thought much about this before because I'd only be pulling a loaded round apart if it didn't chamber in which case it would be deprimed, resized and then reloaded.
