Reloading mistake , can i fix it?

^ wow sounds like more work on top of the work already to be done!

The hammer type puller works fine, I've fixed f-ups lots with zero issues, all the components are reusable.

You could elect to double check your powder charge while you were at it.

If you had the touch you could pull the bullet out a bit but not out completely, then reseat, having adjusted your seating die for correct depth.

This resizing thing above... I guess if you had to. If the bullet goes in with the correct tension (to hold the bullet securely, ya know) I'd spare myself that chore, also I see no need to deprime.

And; Yes, it is a lot of work. No way to get around it. This is how you learn. Don't even try to avoid it; your error, your lesson to learn.

And it's not that bad, really.

b/c that's the way my press works- ie depriming and resizing are done on the same stroke- you just have to "catch " the primer as it comes out of the case instead of having it drop into the spent primers bin- i'm using a lee 1000 - other than that, you have to pull the bullet, deprime, resize, powder charge and seat- the reason you resize is to take care of any case expansion caused by the bullet as it comes out of the case

I would pull the de-priming pin out of the sizing die and proceed. No need to de-prime and re-prime.
 
I also CRIMP all my 9mm- ie I have an uzi- the recoil will push or seat the bullet back into the case somewhat-this may not be necessary with other guns- also my loads are pretty hot
 
also;

The lesson is to perhaps create some dummy rounds to figure out what overall length you want with that bullet, and keep them in your die box if you intend to use that bullet frequently. This would save time in the future, in setting up your press after you empty the brass..... if you get what I mean :dancingbanana:

Another lesson you'll realize while 'pulling is that you'd want to figure out the preferred COAL for your gun with a given bullet BEFORE loading up even 50 rounds! ...laughing with ya bud, not at ya, everyone's been here before.

Ah if life were such that we got it right the first time, no f-ups! But then we'd probably find something to complain about anyway.

Happy 'pulling to ya!
 
Do they work in one of your friends gun?
If so, sell them to him for the price
of the bullets & powder. It will be a deal for him but tell him he'll have to give you back the brass.
I have a kinetic and I would hate to have 150 bullets to pull!

I was thinking resizing of the case is unnecessary, as it's already been sized and hasnt been fired so you are just doing extra work for nothing?? Anyone else care to comment on this?
 
I've done stuff like this before. I usually just single load them and practice drawing on the plate rack. It's good to practice lowering the hammer safely, drawing and the double action trigger pull for IPSC.

I pulled rifle bullets, and when I tried to reseat bullets in the same cases, I found that the neck tension was less than after resizing.
 
I'd shoot it as a single shot before I'd pull 150 pistol loads. Surely there's something constructive you could with 150
of something. 150 fast draws. 75 fast draws followed by 75 malfunction clearing, followed by 75 long shots? 150 left handed? 150
with the gun held sideways like a gangsta? Heck, use your imagination.:)

No i dont crimp them.read that there is no point with 9mm, but wpuld you recommend it?

For 9mm shooting in semiauto, I just crump enough to remove the case flare. Case neck tension is enough to hold the bullet firmly in place if you have resized properly.

The only time I really pay attention to a good firm crimp is reloading for revolvers to prevent bullet creep under recoil. For that I switched to Lee factory crimp dies and crimp to .378 with a .355 bullet.
