Hello Slammer, it appears that you sort of made a bit of a mess for yourself. The purpose of annealing is to control the variable of neck tension for more precise reloads. Annealing softens the brass due to work hardening of the material. I am not a fan of pulling bullets or using bullets that have been pulled. There's a lot of time that is wasted pulling the bullets, and....for me pulled bullets do not perform well at all. My thoughts are that if you assembled these rounds and they went together without any issues of loose necks, then send them as they will go "bang" without any safety issues. But........I would not be looking for any miraculous accuracy from these reloads.
For me there's no real answer to your post, it is more up to you as to what you would like to get out of these rounds, and at what expense of time invested, and money invested in components. If you choose to pull the rounds you will save the
brass, the
primer and the
powder. Depending on your bullet puller
and the bullets, you "MAY" be able to use them again, but.....again I would not be looking for any extraordinary groups from the pulled bullets. As for annealing I shoot a .270 Ackley Improved, I usually anneal after the second resizing on the brass.
This is one of those situations that a little research and some experience would have prevented. And.........there's not anyone on here who has done any considerable amount of reloading who can say that they have never made a mistake that would have been prevented had they done a little research and had more experience. Experience comes with mistakes.
When I read your post, I had one question,
"How many annealed rounds do you have reloaded?
For me this would have a direct impact on my choice for pulling the bullets or for sending them!!!
