reloader lenpulling bullets and brass
I use a impact bullet puller .Was wondering
after pulling bullets,do you need to resize
the case or just seat a new bullet?
Would be thankful for any help?

Zero Driftlen - as long as you did not crimp the case, you can reseat without resizing. IF you did crimp, it is a good idea to empty the powder, fire the primer in your gun, and start over.

Saeedreloader len,
I think you will find that bullet grip will be inconsistant if you do not resize.
My recommendation is to remove the decaping pin, and run the primed cases through teh sizing dies before you seat a new bullet.

AtkinsonTake your primer removing pin out of the dies expander button and resize the neck to the shoulder or you will have inconsistant, in fact some very loose bullets in your cases as Saeed suggested...

Jim in TexasHow do you remove the decapping pin? I am little worried about breaking it.

reloader lenDepending on what type of dies you use,
Just un screw the whole decapping pin,so that the die is hollow.

hartOr just adjust(screw) the expander/decapper up into the die far enough so that it does not reach the primer. This way you will still expand the neck to proper diameter.

Swede44magI pulled 50 Nosler partitions from my 300 win mag brass and tried to reseat balistic-tip bullets. Some were loose others were ok I took the de-priming pin out of my Redding neck die and neck sized all of them. Problem Solved.

If you remove the entire decapping pin the shell necks will be sized to small. You need the expander ball to bring them back to the correct dimension. Unless you are using a set of bushing dies then the bushing determines the neck size.
