    Damaged bullets due to FTF

    Can a bullet still be used if it got shoved in due to FTF?
    Below is how it looks like:

    The bullet will still work but the pressures inside the case during the powder burn will certainly be too high. I would toss them or risk a kaboom. How much are you loseing? A dollar, 2 dollars. dDn't risk it.

      Probably not, you're only saving a few cents. Bullet set back affects the pressure (I think?). Happens if you keep re-chambering the same round multiple times as well.

        you gotta ask yourself: Is it worth possible damage to your gun, and possibly to yourself?

            I would definately not use that bullet again. If you are dead set on reusing the bullet and if you reload, I would pull the bullet, discard the powder and primer, and reload the entire cartridge. Otherwise, I would place the round in the live ammo box at the range.

              Kinetic Bullet Puller is the answer.

                  Are you seriously trying to save 50 cents here by risking your life?

                    Just pull the bullet and re-seat them.

                        You have 2 choices, blow the gun up, or pull the bullets. Like Sonny Barger, President of the Hells Angels, said 'I don't recommend it' (the first option).

                          Just curious on how or what to use to pull the bullet off the casing.

                              Personally I'd pull and reseat them, but it sounds like just tossing them would be the right choice for you.
