Powder damage after pulling bullets

[reb]

I have a question about using the powder after pulling bullets with a kinetic puller, Does the impact damage the powder or is it safe to reuse.
The powder is IMR 7828
Thanks Reb

OK to re-use. Even if the load was compressed and a few kernels were crushed, it will be fine. Dave.

If it is powder you used to reloaded with than I would re-weigh the charge to ensure it is consistent to your target charge weight and re-use. Sometimes the powder comes back out it compacted at the base or some powder kernels get stuck in the flash hole so rechecking the weight is important IMO. The powder should be good UNLESS the powder has changed color (gone bad) or gotten wet or contaminated with oil or debris during the pulling process.

I just loaded the rounds today with new Hornady brass and found some would not chamber due to a outside lip on the neck of some of the cases.
Did a visual on the cases but missed the lip.

Back the seater stem out and turn the seater die in a bit, so it uses a taper crimp to take off the lip.
