Thanks.  I do have a question.  I somehow got a few cases that were not resized enough and would not hold the bullet, so I had to dump the powder and set them aside.  They all have the primer in them.  Would it be safe to remove the decapping mandrel from the neck sizing die and then resize them with the primers in place?

I picked up 2000 new cases that were de-mil ( head pulled/powder dumped ) all were still primed... they re-size just fine !
( of course I wouldn't run them through the full length resizer, don't know if that would be safe as it does reform the pocket a little )

I took the depriming mandrel out of the resizing die and got them resized just fine.  I think my mistake was not paying attention to the instructions which said to turn the die in till it touches the shell holder, then turn one full turn more... 1 ½ turns for the Classic Press.  I have the Classic Press and only gave the die one turn.  Did 1 ½ turns today, and they resized and took the bullets just fine.  Learning steps.
