I loaded some rounds and a realized that I forgot to chamfer. Should I pull them all or just shoot em. I measured them all and they are within specs of what they should be.

Im no reloading expert... but I would think your fine... but to say that with any authority (which wouldnt be too much) I think we'd need to know the caliber / type of round.

shoot them

Relax. You're fine. Nothing will explode. Chamfering and deburring bottle necked rifle cases just makes seating the bullet easier. Handgun cases and straight walled rifle cases get a wee flare on the mouth. No chamfering is required for them. Deburr 'em though.
Shoot 'em and chamfer 'em before you load 'em again. You only need to chamfer and deburr after trimming anyway. You shouldn't need to trim every time either.

Its a 270 loaded with 130 grain bullets and 56 grains of IMR 4831. I am within spec of the loading manuals. COAL is 3.31

Provided the resized cases were below the maximum case length prior to powder/bullet seating, then you are OK:

Maximum Case Length - 2.540"
Trimmed Case Length - 2.530"

56 grains of 4831 in a 270 with a 130 grain bullet is a very light load.

He said IMR, its not too stiff....... I think the max load is 57. I was never enamoured with IMR-4831 for 130's but its very good for 150's .

i only chamfer when/if i trim the cases... i mainly only ever collet neck size so i don't need to trim all that often. if the bullets you are loading have a very flat base it may be necessary, but im working through a pile of sierra's right now that are nicely rounded around the bottom... no problems seating.
