Pulled bullets from reloaded cases? Now what?

[DIDIHITIT?]

I had some once fired 7 mag loaded and decided to change directions. I pulled the bullets and threw the brass in my twice fired bin. Is this right or should I resize them and throw them in the once fired batch? Will they be work hardened more so than the other once fired brass?

I would rezize again, you stretched the mouth a bit with the bullet already and place it on the twice fired bin. That's what I would do

Treat it just like it has been fired.

I personally do not consider them fired. I did some the other day in .270 and all I did was re-neck size them. If you plan on FLS-then I would consider them X2 fired.

To me it would depend on how you resize the necks. If you use a bushing die with no expanding plug , treat them as once fired. If you use a standard die, treat them as 2X.

Ya. I do fl size. Been thinking of switching to bushing dies though.
