You might be able to use a body die. But I would use at your own risk.

Can I resize a loaded round?

update guys...
so during break I went home and turned the sizing/decapping die 1/4turn more even though it was hand tightened by hand all the way to the shell plate. That was just enough to get the shoulder into spec. I put it in my Lyman case gauge and the head sat right between the lower and upper steps. I don't have a straight edge but the Frakford Arsenal digital caliper looks pretty straight to me. Used that to check and a tiny bit of light shined between the head and straight edge. I finished the rest with trimming deburring chamfering and made 10 more rounds from these F'ed up ones and then cycled it through my Sig 556 via charging handle? (not sure what Sig calls it). Everything went in and out smoothly.... thanx bubbapug and ar15barrelsl and everyone else who tried to help me... I'm on my way to alot of reloading and shooting.... btw I just got my shipment of 5K CCI No34 and 5K CCI No41 and a bunch of other stuff...going to be reloading 500S&W also.
List of what I have setup to do with all the case feeder plates, shell plates and dies...
40S&W
45ACP
500S&W
7.62x39
308Win
223Rem
RCBS trimmer
RCBS prep center
RCBS lube kit
Lyman digital scale
RCBS beam scale (bought seperate since I don't trust electronics 100%)
Lyman tumbler
Frankford Arsenal digital caliper (going to get a mechanical one soon again don't trust electronics 100%)
Lyman case gauges 223 & 308
Cabelas Kinetic bullet puller
Hornady LnL AP with case feeder
Honady COP die
2x4 basics workbench with power strip and lighting
bunch of bullets primers and powder
I just started reloading less than a month ago and started off pretty hardcore but I'm pretty mechanically inclined so this wasn't too big of a deal. I've made tons of mistakes and learned from it. I try and double check and sometimes triple check end total bullet weights and I've caught 1 double charge and a few squibs. I read someone mention it's like driving for the first time. After I got the hang of it I was alot more comfortable. Spent about $2K so far and having tons of fun... even got the annual membership at my local range. To make up the cost of reloading it will surely take me awhile. I'm going to charge my friends small fees to cover the cost so that'll help alittle. I'll call them over the weekend to come work in an assembly line... I think we can pump out a bunch of ammo pretty fast...
WISH ME LUCK!!Last edited by ty423; 07-29-2010, 7:49 PM.Live Free!Comment
