I am fairly new to the world of reloading. Recently I had to pull bullets from 20 loads I had worked up. They were a little hot and I decided to do a redo. I used a RCBS Power Pull Bullet Puller (the hammer type). I recovered the powder and bullet to use on future loads. The question I have is regard the primed case. Can I use the primed case immediately after this process or do I have to resize it before adding powder and seating a bullet? I would hope that I would not have to resize because doing so would de-prime the case. If immediate reloading is OK, I am concerned about how tight the bullet fits on case neck. Let me know what you guys think...

I would assume you would be ok. I guess that depends on how much neck tension you had to start with. Are you FL resizing or just neck sizing? You could always remove the decapping pin and size again if you were worried about it.

resize them...either remove the pin from the die, or just punch them out live..I've "heard" of them going off, but i dunno how many 100's of live primers i've punched.never had one go off..even if it did, bfd it will be inside the die when it goes off anyway.
I bet you can damn near seat the bullet with your hand after pulling with an inertia hammer..I wouldn't just re-seat.
