    neck tension

    Hi all, most of you will shake your heads in disbelief I’m sure. however iv still managed to do it so looking for advice ect.
    loading for a 300wsm, recently had a new barrel. Started breaking in the barrel & the bolt was sticky post firing.
    I stopped & wound powder charge back .5gr & loaded another 40.
    However after loading them I cleaned my die & noticed that I had managed to put my .333 300WM bushing in the neck die.
    Loaded 300wsm Norma case is .338. .005 neck tension twice the recommended tension?
    Would you suggest I pull all those rounds. Re size again and use correct neck bushing or see how this goes just for the barrel break-in process?
    Cheers
