Loaded some .45 ACP with 200gr Berry's SWC bullets and not enough powder. 4.2 gr rather than 5.2 gr. Oops!

I pulled the bullets and saved the powder, now my question is this: Should I resize the primed cases and reload as per normal or just reload the powder and seat the bullets? I only crimp .45 to take out the bell.
 
Just a follow up on my original question.

I resized half the cases and reloaded as per normal. The other half I skipped the resizing die and just reloaded the powder and the bullet.

5.0 gr of N320.

Using a ransom rest at 25 yards all the groups were in the 10 ring. I didn't have a chance to chrono the loads.

So the question is would I skip the resizing die if I had this situation again?
 
I don't see why you'd have to resize the cases after pulling bullets, maybe a belling of the case mouths to take out the crimp and ease the reseating of the bullets.
